First, as my name dictates, I'm a bit of a newb at this program -- I started using it about 1 1/2 weeks ago.
Here's what I want to do (please don't take offense to my dumb-it-down approach):
I have a Record page. There's a label on the page called Sub. The label's control source is also called Sub, which belongs to a table in a database. When this page is displayed, a value will be written into the label, governed by Sub. Now what I want to do is take Sub and divided it by 100 and display it in the same label. That is, take a value from a table, dviide it by 100, and then display ithe result in the label.
I tried adding custom code in javascript and the label didn't display anything. I then tried php and it also didn't work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe somebody can explain a simple, rudimentary way to carry out this task.
Here's the custom code in php:
$Sub = $NewForm->Sub;
$Subcalc= $Sub/100;
$NewForm->Sub = $Sub;
Essentially, I'm having trouble understanding how to associate html forms and php variables. I tried to do this using SQL but that's even more crazy. Can anyone please help me?
Thank you in adavance.

Try this instead:
$Sub = $NewForm->Sub->GetValue();
$Subcalc= $Sub/100;
$NewForm->Sub->SetValue($Subcalc);

--------------------------
or just:
$NewForm->Sub->SetValue($NewForm->Sub->GetValue()/100);

Awesome. Both worked. Thank you!
Now if I wanted to modify it to round down to the nearest integer, where it reads GetValue()/100, can I say floor(GetValue() / 100)?
