Converting a text field to a calculation

Hi,

say I have a text field contains a formula (formula are make up of fields from the layout), I want to place this formula onto a calculated field type. Does anyone know how to take the content of the text field and place it into the calculated field? In other word is there a way to extract the variables and operands from the string and place it into the calculate field?

Thanks for any help you can give. I am using FM Pro 6 on Windows.

I think you are looking for some type of Eval() function that FM doesn't yet support. Can you be more descriptive/detailed in your question?
