I'm stumped and about to change direction all together, but don't want to. I've got a dollar amount field and want to get a result showing how much the payments to pay it off would be if it's done monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or annually. This would be very simple if the payment schedule showed 12, 4, 6 or 1, but I have a drop down menu for the schedule in text format. Thus, the fields are Due (numeric), Payment Schedule (drop down of Monthly, Quarterly, Semi-Annually and Annually), and Payment (calculation of Due divided by results of Payment Schedule. I would also like to be able to have the Date Due fill in automatically based on the Payment Result i.e. Quarterly produces 1/1/09, 4/1/09, etc.

I've thought about using a mask on the Payment Schedule, but that seems like over kill.

Any suggestions?
