Im getting a #Num! in my text box
Hello, I have a text box and its function is only to give me a % from two
other text boxes. I used =[Text25]/[Text89]&"%" when I go to regular view its giving me a #Num! in the text box. The other two text boxes have time in them and show 0:00 what am I doing wrong? This is my first database so please explain for a newb! Thanks!!!

You need to understand just a little bit about math. Apparently you are
attempting to divide by zero. I'm not sure why you would want to divide one time by another but the general way of handling this is: =IIf(NumberA = 0, 0, NumberB/NumberA) -- Duane Hookom MS Access MVP -- "oxicottin" wrote in message ...

That works well, but I use a little different approach.
=NumberB / IIf(Nz(NumberA,0) = 0, 1, NumberA) Which way you do it depents on the result you want. Yours will return a zero, mine will return Number B.
