How to Multiply $50 times, by how many was input in the textbox?

[anoble1]

I am working on trying to calculate a penalty, I have 2 text boxes. On of them is where a user inputs a number like "2" (We will call that textbox Z) then their is another txt box under it that I want to be the Total txtbox.

So, I want to multiply the user input number by $50.00 and create a Total in the next textbox. I can't seem to get it right.

I have done a "After Update" on the txtbox Z

Private Sub txtLateGB_AfterUpdate()

txtLateGBCost.SetFocus

txtLateGBCost.Text = (Forms!frmFeeder!frmPenaltiesIncentives.txtLateGB.Text) * (50#)

End Sub

I'm just trying to get it to multiply their number by $50 and trying to get it to show up in the other textbox instantly. That's why I did an after update hoping that would do it.

Thanks!!!

use the change event

Private Sub txtbLateGB_Change()
    txtbLateGBCost = txtbLateGB * 50
End Sub
