How about this, I've never done it - pop up the standard calculator then after calculating the user can copy and paste the results back into a text box as needed.
This code will startup the calculator for you.
Dim oShell As Object
Dim nRet As Long
Set oShell = CreateObject("WSCript.shell"
nRet = oShell.Run("calc", , false)
Set oShell = Nothing
Maybe this helps you ?

You can popup the windows calculator with the following code.
Shell "Calc.exe", vbNormalFocus
However I don't know if you can return its calculated value to your program. Maybe with some API calls. You can go to and search for a calculator project that has been posted by someone else. With the code you can easily add the feature of returning values where you need them.
Thanks and Good Luck!
