change text to number data type

Hello,
have a database that is created from others and long story- but question is- I have a query like the example am attaching- but based on different tables-
Is there a way in a query, or report or form to change the data type when in text - to number- for calculation purposes-
in my example:
I want to create a field called total:
which is scan number ( table1) minus ( enter number (tbl2) + outside number(tbl3)+ last number (tbl4))
textNumber.accdb

Haven't looked at your sample yet but first try using the Val function ...

NewFieldName: Val([FieldName])
