Dumb question re: programming

I'm looking at the new (December) Inside Sesame (and a quick Thank You to Tom for the UDF's) and have what is probably a very basic question about something on page 4.

The top section has the programming statements:
Quote:
//Do the math
vTotal += @TM(@("Amt" + n))


What does "+=" do, and what does the @ inside the parenthesis do?

Thanks.

Hello,

The += is the same thing as saying "vTotal = vTotal +". It basically just says add whatever comes after the assignment operators to the value that is in that variable already.

The @() is the same as saying @Field() which is on pages 168-169 of the 1.1 Programming Manual.

In the 1.1 Programming Guide:

+= page 45

@() page 168-169 - It's the abbreviation for @Field()
