1.         The first step is to add a field for the Purchases Value. This is what as known as a normal text box control. All controls are added via the Control Toolbox. Click the Control Toolbox icon:

2.         Then click on the label icon:

3.         Drag a label onto the form: and then right click on the label and select Properties:

4.         Then right click on the label and select Properties. Change the caption to Purchases (In a later topic we will cover recommendations on changing the Name but for the moment you can leave this as Label1):

5.         Then click on OK and you should now have the label Purchases:

6.         Now we want to add a text box for the actual value. So go back to the Control Toolbox and click on the text box icon:

7.         Drag and drop a Text Box onto the form, to the right of your label:

8.         Then right click on the text box and select Properties. We now want to add a field called PurchasesValue. To do this you click on New and add a Currency field with this name.

9.         Then click on OK, and OK again, and you should now have the 2 controls next to each other.
