 Hello,Can anyone tell me how to update a field in a database that adds up with the initial value (example: current value = 10 and with a update form i want to add the value 7; the column should the be updated to the value of 17). I don't know how to alter the update SQL statement that Ultradev creates with the update command, so that this will work.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks

  I did similar thing with hidden field. Put value of HF to value from DB + value you want. In Update Record behavior update DB with value from HF.
