Help!!

First Box - Number of Nights away from home.

Set amount being £25.00

Second Box - Multiplication of (Nights & £25.00)

I would be very grateful for any help as I'm running out of time, and the client wants this done as soon as possible.

Thank You

On the properties of the field where you want the quotient ("SecondBox"), go to the Calculate tab, then Simplified Field Notation. Click in the radio button and click EDIT. Type this, changing the name of your first box to match:
firstbox * 25.00

On both fields, on the Format tab, set them to Number and the SecondBox needs the currency symbol set to Pound. You may also want to set the Secondbox to Read Only on the General tab.
