Hello TheRedLord,
welcome to the forum!
Not sure I understand, but looks like you mean something like:
Code: Select all
...
## fld 1 -> 1+1
put VALUE(fld 1) into fld 2
## fld 2 -> 2
...
Best
Klaus

What you are asking is how to make "1 + 1" evaluate itself.
Klaus has given you the short correct answer.
I would suggest that you change the way that information was entered into the field in the first place. In other words, do not leave such expressions the way you did, rather have the user enter those two numbers, and manage their sum in the program.
Just a suggestion...
