Multiple to DBText

edited April 2002 in General
I have a report where I need to Muliple to dbtext components on a report.
I've looked but can't find any components when I can do the calculation.
I've looked at DBCalc but its DBCalcType says nothing about this.

Thanks
Ed

    There are two options for performing any type of a calculation on a DBCalc.
    You can perform the calculation in the Query. That means either calculating
    a new field either in the actual SQL statement or in the Calcs tab of the
    query designer by selecting expression for the Function type. The newly
    calculated field will then be available on the data pipeline. The other
    option is using a variable component instead of a DBText or DBCalc. With a
    variable you can then either perform needed calculations in Delphi or RAP by
    using the variable's OnCalc event.
