  If these values are bound to a label or textbox on your form then you could do something like this....
  
  MySumLabel.Text = (TotalValueIncVatLabel.text - DepositTextbox.text - StagepayementTextbox.text - BalanceTextbox.text)
  
  If you have option explicit turned on (which is a good idea) then you have to explicitly convert each value:
  
  Dim Result as Double= Convert.ToDouble(TotalValueIncVatLabel.text )- Convert.ToDouble(DepositTextbox.text) - Convert.ToDouble(StagepayementTextbox.text) - Convert.ToDouble(BalanceTextbox.text)
  
  MySumLabel.Text=Result.ToString

  Hello,
  
  Managed to get my drop down menu working in the datagrid thingy.
  
  Just a quick question, I have bound my data to where it need to get it from.
  When I compile the program, and run it, I go to where this datagrid is ( Which now has drop down box ) The correct data is in there, but there are multiple instances of the same data.
  
  Have I done something wrong here, maybee slected the source many times with out knowing.
  
  Thanks in advance, and thanks for the last lost of help.
  Oh, the MSDN place is an excellent info place with lots of easy to understand examples, so thanks for the pointer.
  
  Best Wishes

  If you want to re-calculate when any of these values change then put the calculation in a separate procedure like
  Private sub CalculateSum()
  
  MySumLabel.Text = (TotalValueIncVatLabel.text - DepositTextbox.text - StagepayementTextbox.text - BalanceTextbox.text)
  
  end sub
  
  and on the change even of each of the textboxes call this procedure.

  There are a couple of different reasons why you may be seeing dup data...
  
  1.  if you are using a multi-join query you can get dup info
  
  or
  
  2.  If you fill your dataset and then fill it again without clearing you will have dup records.

  It is actual VB SAMPLE code, ... you must have the textbox and/or labels named appropriately on your form....
  
  ie "TextBox7" what does it contain if it is the Total Value Inc Vat then you should rename it accordingly...You can use the textbox changed event.
  
  As a newbie take some time and look into the Explicit Option.  When it is turned on it will help you avoid conversion and casting errors!
  
  The only dumb question is the one not asked!

  Dman,
  
  The values are bound to a textbox, which pulls its data from an access backend.
  So im going to go down the MysumLabel route.
  
  Im assuming this is actual VB code that I input in the code view section for the new unbound text box.
  
  Sorry to sound dumb, but im new to this.
  Not sure where exactly I input this
  Below is the code my unbound text box produces

  Private Sub TextBox7_TextChanged_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox7.TextChanged

  End Sub
  
  So im assuming I need to add to make this
  
  

  Private Sub TextBox7_TextChanged_1(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox7.TextChanged
  

  MySumLabel.Text = (TotalValueIncVatLabel.text - DepositTextbox.text - StagepayementTextbox.text - BalanceTextbox.text)
  
  End Sub
