You have not included the URL so I'll make a guess.

Insert two new columns...... ..material and price, say columns D and E

In the amount column enter =D2 * E2 and copy down.

If you don't want a 0 showing for nothing entered in D or E enter this

=IF(OR(D2="",E2=""),"",D2*E2)

Hi Gord,
here is the link for the template i am talking about.
What i would like to do is add 2 columns before hours,1 for material and 1
for price,
and have it automatically put the total in the amount column.
for example 2 (in material column) $15.00 (in price column) and
automatically put $30.00 (in the amount column).
i hope i explained that good enough for you.
Thanks again.

If you posted the URL for the Template I could download it and have a look.

Also post a bit more info on where you are adding the column.
