Is that control bound to a field in the table? Its ControlSource should be
the name of a field. If instead it is an expression then that is not a
bound control and it will not save anything to the table. The result of
such expressions should almost never be saved anyway, but evaluated
on-the-fly.

In the control source is an expression. So what you are saying is that it
really dosent matter if it is in the table? Thanks
