Sorry... Where I have Value, use Val (similar to Harald's code...). I would
be more inclined to use a leble than a Text Box (as Harald uses) as text
boxes are designed for the user to enter text into where as lables are
designed to display text with no ability for the user to change the value...

Using the change event for each text box, add code that multiplies the value
of the two text boxes and populates a lable with the resulting amount. The
code will look something like this (you will have to validate that both text
boxes contian numbers before running this code)...

Label1 = format(value(textbox1.text) * value(textbox2.text), "#,##0.00")

i have a userform for a carpet company which has a combo box with a list of
available carpets. once the user selects from the list the price of that
certain carpet per sqaure metre is shown in a text box below (each carpet has
a different price per square metre) that all works fine!!!

BUT.... the user has to type in the number of sqaure metres they need (which
is fine as they type it manually), but i then need a formula to multiply
these together to get a total cost (baring in mind the prices of the carpets
are all different and the number of sqaure metres they type in will be
different each time!!!)

e.g. i need the number of sqaure metres multiplied by the price per sqaure
metre!!!

hope i have explained myself properly!
thanks
