Now I can create a Query that adds, subtracts a specific column, but im having a hard time trying to get the information into a form since it don't seem to allow me to pick the query field which is calculated as a datasource. Can someone tell me how to make a calculated query column appear on a form as a field? Such if I type in monday in the regular table, the form will add a few days to the next available game? I have the information/code already in a query that displays the query right in a new table using the Expr method but I can't get the form to just simply display the field. Someone please help!
I see a few people asked close to the same question but nobody never answered so I am thinking it is impossible
I have a form where the record source is a table.The form has about 5 calculated fields on it. The screen flickers quite badly and at the bottom says calculating. Sometimes the database locks up.
To stop this flickering i created a query so that the calculations are done in the query. Then i linked the form to the query instead of the table. Am i doing this correctly as i didn't think the table would show any new data that i entered into the form but it does seem to work. Is it because i am only using one table.
I'm still very new to Access.I have a form with subforms.Some of the fields are calculated fields.I cannot figure out what some of the fields will not update automatcally. Once I click out of the form and then back in, it will update.Tried many things like, Refresh, Requery both on the form and on the text box(es).I wish I could figure out how to attach my test database to show you.
I am preparing an invoice and I have a field called deposit .Now this field calculates %40 of the total of the order .but if the user wishes they can enter what they like .Now this field must be stored in a table for ever and a day and must not change or the invoice will be useless .I can see no other way of doing this and my research tells me (allen Brown) that this is sometimes necessary .
In my form I have a calculated field that works out the time elapsed for a job, worked out as the QTY/RUN RATE which gives me the time in hours. However I couldn't format the box as a date/time, as it is a calculation and the times may go over 24 Hours which results in the date/time giving me something like 31/12/1899 16:00 for example.
I've got around this now and I've formatted the results as HH:NN:SS using a public function in a module, but the problem is this is now stored as a text field. I've tried setting this to a number field but the formatting doesn't carry over. I've tried setting a custom format in the table as HH:NN:SS but then all I get is just a bunch of 0's, no calculation results.
So how to format this as a number field properly?
Also for any extra information:
- I know you're not supposed to store calculated results, but this is slightly different, the calculated field is a standalone text box and the bound field is a formatted text box. - The reason I have to store the calculated results is because my boss wants to eventually see a chart of the total hours of jobs each day, hence why I'm asking if this can be done as a number field.
i have a continues form that lists all my active items and I'd like to use it to quickly check if they have all the data inserted, ie entries in each separate table. it looks like this
I perform a simple check on form load chk = DCount("[phID]", "preh", "[phbID] = " & Me.tID) where me.tid is the item ID and this gives me 0 or 1 and writes ok, or missing into the appropriate box.Problem is it tkaes value for the first item and repeats it for eah other, so I get ok or missing throughout the continuos form.How can i force a check for each line?
I am trying to create a calculated field in a query, that shows money owed from customers. I have 4 different job codes that have their own prices. I also have customers with the amount of hours they owe for, for each job. There are two customers that owe for two different jobs. I know how to write in : Money Owed: [price per hour]*[number of hours]. but i want to have only one line for each customer when i run the query. How do i combine??
But, if both the Annual Savings and SKUAnnualSpendInPounds text boxes have a value of 0 the result of the calulation comes out as #Num!. I assume this is the error because I am doing 0 divided by 0.
Does anyone know if this is the reason for my error and if so is there anyway of changing the #Num! back into a 0 so that I can submit it to my tables.
I have a table called inventory that stores my different products and the quanitities i have in stock. I also have an orders table that handles a customer palcing an order for a certain product and the amount they want. What i want to happen is this: If a customer orders for example 5 widgets, I want my inventory table to automatically reflect the 5 widget deduction from the quantity in stock. Anyone know how to do this?
I developed a query that calulates when a contract is reviewed i.e 5 weeks and 9 weeks after the commencement date. These are called CDE1 and CDE2. This works well and the CDE1 and CDE2 dates are displayed ok.
The query above is: SELECT Contract.ContractNo, Contract.APSNo, Contract.Firstname, Contract.Surname, Contract.AgencyDesc, Contract.FacilityName, Contract.Designation, Contract.WeeklyHrs, Contract.PositionNo, Contract.ComDate, Contract.EndDate, IIf(DateAdd("ww",5,[comdate])<[enddate],DateAdd("ww",5,[comdate])) AS 1stCDE, IIf(DateAdd("ww",9,[comdate])<[enddate],DateAdd("ww",9,[comdate])) AS 2ndCDE FROM Contract;
The problem is that I now want to access contracts under these CDE dates between two dates that is user defined (startdate) and (enddate).
As the above are calculated fields, how can I develop a new query based on the above as CDE1 and CDE2 are already calculated fields?
New to Access and learning the hard way. Im sure this is an easy one, but sure would appreciate the help. I am trying to sum a group of cells and display the total, which i have done. But I also want to store this total in my database. So my question is, how do i move my calculated total to my field that has the "record source" bound back to my field in the database? Hope that makes sense. Thanks in advance.
I have an Access 97 database with a form and a subform for invoice and invoice details. When I change the qty or price in the subform I have a calculated field on the main form that updates. I also have a button that when clicked brings up the payment screen with the totals from the previous screen. The problem lies when I change the qty or price and click the button right away, the next form pops up but does not take the new totals, it grabs the old ones. The calculated fields do not refresh fast enough. I have tried requery, refresh, and even a loop to make it wait before opening the payment form, but nothing seems to work. I'm at a loss. Any ideas would be appreciated
I keep getting caught up in the same point over and over again. I need to save a calculated field's calculation to a table field. The problem is how do I do this? I already know about the rules but I need to do this and store that specific information. Can someone post a sample code? The problem is the code and codes I been using dont' seem to work any more. I was putting
fieldname = textbox2.txt in the form before update box. The problem with that is it would give me an error if the data source the calculation pulls from is not in the table/form.
I know that it is bad form to store a calculated field in a table - normalization and all that - but I can see no other way around a need that I have.
I'm trying to make a database to store injury time for employees. If an employee is injured, he can do light work for a certain amount of time, but this light work need not be contiguous. But, the total time on light work must be known so as to see when it is used up.
For example:
Bob is injured on 4/1/06 and goes on light work on 4/2/06 until 4/5/06 (4 days). Bob is then taken off light work until 4/10/06 when he reinjures the same injury. This does not count as a new injury, because it is an aggravation of the old one. So, Bob goes back on light work on 4/10/06 until 4/15/06 (6 days).
So, I need to store Bob's total time on light work for this injury (10 days) so that I can keep a running total to check against the maximum for a single injury. All I can think of is to store the sum of days on light work as a field in Bob's injury record, but that means storing a calculated field in a table.
Am I missing an easy way to do this, or is there a method to do what I want that I am just not aware of?
Fields in Query2 TestID from Table1 Select from Table 1
Run Query Can’t update “Select” field
So I’m thinking that I should create a 3rd query to update the summed Quantity Delivered into a new field in table 1. Which would in effect create a stored calculated field.
I need some help. My brain just can't grasp how to do this.
I have an Access DB. I sell vinyl records. I have an order form. When a customer orders a record, each vinyl record has a unique ID#. No two vinyl records are alike. I have four tables: Customers, Orders, Inventory, & Order Details. I have an "Order Form" form where I input all the info. It's an all-in-one form where you can view and data entry in one screen. The form has two subforms in it. Here's the problem: If a customer orders more than one item (i.e. a vinyl record), each Inventory_ID (representing one vinyl record) is associated with one Order_ID which is, in turn, related to one Customer_ID. If I have one Order_ID that has multiple Inventory_IDs (i.e. has ordered two or more vinyl records) that belongs to one customer, how can I calculate that total cost? Currently, I have a calculated field within my all-in-one form that calculates only the price of the Inventory_ID that one currently sees on the subform. The Inventory_ID item has a set price, for instance $5.00. If I scroll through the ordered Inventory_IDs, the calculated field will only display the price of the product that you currently see. It's not really calculating anything, I guess. It's just bound to that field, but I need to sum up all the price fields for all the Inventory_IDs that are associated with one Order_ID & Customer_ID whether it's a query or calculated field...I just need it done so that it'll display on this form. Any help would be much appreciated. I can show you whatever you need to see. Thanks in advance. David
I have done a query which has calculated fields, but I can't edit the stored fields directly from the query, instead I have to go to the table so as to edit it. Is this the way it works or is something wrong?
SELECT [INSTRUCCIONES DE EMBARQUE].N_OP, [INSTRUCCIONES DE EMBARQUE].[N° FAC EXP], [INSTRUCCIONES DE EMBARQUE].[FECHA CUMP], [INSTRUCCIONES DE EMBARQUE].[DERECHO PGC], [INSTRUCCIONES DE EMBARQUE].[VTO DER EXP], [INSTRUCCIONES DE EMBARQUE].[IMPORTE REINTEGRO], [DETALLE CONTENEDOR].CANTIDAD, [DETALLE CONTENEDOR].[VALOR FOB], [INSTRUCCIONES DE EMBARQUE].[TIPO DE CAMBIO], [TIPO DE CAMBIO]*[VALOR FOB] AS [PRECIO VTA (ARS)], [PRECIO VTA (ARS)]*[CANTIDAD] AS [TOTAL(ARS)], [TOTAL(ARS)]/[TIPO DE CAMBIO] AS [TOTAL(USD)] FROM [INSTRUCCIONES DE EMBARQUE], [DETALLE CONTENEDOR];
Could someone tell me what Event I need to put this code in to calculate my fields when the form first opens?
I have this code on both the After Update and On Change events which is working fine, but, when I first open the form, those calculated fields are blank and I have to perform a change or update before the calculations will appear each time.
If Not IsNull(Me.fcstloc) Then Me.prodvolume = DSum("[volume]", "qryMonthlyEngineVolumes", "[product] = '" & Forms!Projects!product & "'" & " And [MonthID] Between " & Forms!Projects.MonthID.Column(0) & " And 12") ElseIf Not IsNull(Me.prodvolume) Then Me.prodvolume = DLookup("[2004volume]", "tblProjectDetails", "[projectid] = " & Forms!Projects!projectid & "") End If
An invoice can be paid in multiple payments. (One-to-Many Relationship).
I have a calculated field that takes QtyShipped * UnitPrice, which gives me my total due. That works correctly. However, I want to have another calculated field that sums all of the payments (the Amount field). Then I want another field that takes the difference between the total due and the sum of all the payments, and gives me a Remaining Due calculated field.
Right now, my TotalPaid and TotalRemaining fields are marked with '#Error'. Is that because TotalPaid is a running sum? Every day I can go in and add a payment to an invoice, so the number would be constantly changing until it was paid in full.
I have a small Database that produces invoices, Each invoice could have 5 items on it which are compeleted at different Dates. (cutting hair in an OAP Home) Invoice to be produced at the end of each month which shows what happened each week. This will be generated for each person in the home. I can display all the information in a form when inputing the invoice information. I want a button to copy the invoice number the client name and the total of the invoice to a new table. The total of the invoice is calculated control on the form.
How do I do this??? can anyone help
I need a total in a table to substract payments from.
I only seem to be able to add some 30 calculated fields to a form or report. Anything over this returns a #Name? error. I've seen this before but have searched this and other forums but cannot find an answer. I suspect a memory issue but I have 2 gb on Pc. Any Ideas?
I have created a report in Access that calculates the dates based on a date-type field in a query. I want to be able to use these calculated dates in another report and sort these dates in an ascending order. With the dates, I also want to display certain information from this report. Is it doable? Please let me know....ASAP if poosible...
