Thanks for the reply Chris but i still can't get it to work.

This is what I am trying to do.
One text box has a decimal numer with unlimited decimal places.
the other has a whole number and when i tab out of the box with the whole number it multiplies one by the other and displays the result in a seperate text box. i want the result to be 2 decimal places long in the result text box as i am dealing with currency,
I would be grateful for any Help
thanks
Ciara
