## Using the Formula Field command

1. Choose the Formula Field command from the Insert menu. The Field Explorer appears with `Formula Fields` selected.
2. Click the New button. The Formula Name dialog box appears.
3. Enter the name for the new formula and click OK. The Formula Editor appears.
4. Enter your formula in the Formula text box. See Creating a formula and inserting it into a report.
5. When you have completed your formula, click Save and Close. The program checks the syntax and, if it is correct, displays the object frame. (If the syntax is incorrect, you will need to make the necessary syntax changes first. Then, when you click Save and Close, the object frame will appear.)
6. Move the frame to the place you want to insert the formula and click to place it.
