Hello all, I'm quite new to Access. I've read many Access tutorials and site but I have yet to found the solution for my problem. So here it is (pardon my english):
Field AmountTotal is
=(Nz([AmountSubTotal])+Nz([AmountSH])-Nz([Discounts]))
I manually input AmountSubTotal, AmountSH and Discounts. I expected an automatic calculation for AmountTotal.
In "Form view" I get the result of AmountTotal that I wanted. But the calculation result doesn't get recorded in my field data table AmountTotal. It just shows blank.
How do I record this automated results into my original table?
Thanks in advance!

On my form I have calculated fields based on information from my sub forms. I have the calculations all working fine however I can seam to figure out how to save them in the table that my form is linked to as my control source is the calculation. Should I be using my calculations in an area other than the control source?

I am thinking, probably not, but always worth "putting it out there"!
Is there a way that I can define a minimum data set (ie fields which ideally should be completed (but I cannot make them compulsory since the information may simply not be available) and then have a sort of bar thingey (like a progress bar but static) that says "Your minimum data set is x% completed".
Simplistic example - if age, gender, hometown and mothers age are the (ideal) minimum data set and three of these fileds are completed then there would be a field (probably doesn't even have to be a graphic - maybe just a label) that says "Your data is 75% complete"

I am just learning how to use Access and have created a basic form. I am stuck though on getting my form to calculate the Age (from Date of Birth) in Years and Months.
The info on this forum I have tried the following Expression:
=DateDiff("yyyy",[DoB],Date()) & " years and " & DateDiff("m",[DoB],Date())-(DateDiff("yyyy",[DoB],Date())+Int(Format(Date(),"mmdd") & lt;Format([DoB],"mmdd")))*12 & " months "
But my problem is that it tells me:
''The expression you entered contains invalid syntax
You omitted an operand or operator, you entered an invalid character or comma, or you entered text without surrounung it in quotation marks''
Can anyone let me know what error I've made and how to fix it?
It would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi all - I have a table that is keeping track of projects we are working on. There is a field with the overall cost of the project and a field with the percent paid. I would like a field that calculates that amount still owed. Is this possible?
Thanks!

I am currently working o a Library Management System. most of the work is done but there remains two major problems.
I want to calculate the fines that a member will have automatically on a form. i have a basic pseudocose which is
IF Loan.returned=0 AND ReturnDate<Today{note- i.e. date()Today(), etc.}
THEN Loan.fine_BDT=20*(Today-Loan.ReturnDate)
Note2- The form has the following fields from a query which is connected to table loan-
LoanID
LoanDate
ItemID
MemberID
ReturnDate
DateReturned
Returned(Yes/no)
2. The other one is with the Mail merge. i Want to use a query to supply the data for a mail merge. However, since the database id encrypted with a password it cannot be reached.
I am currently using Access 2007.

First off, I am not sure if this belongs in the queries forum but it seems most of the question is geared towards a table so I have posted it here.
At the moment I have a query that contains several fields that use nested IIf statements to determine which set of rules to apply. I was wondering if it is possible to somehow set the IIf variables up in a table and then for just to lookup the table in the query.
For example, one of my simpler IIf's looks like this...
Cost:
IIf([AType]='Skill',
IIf([StartDate]<#01/08/2004#,
IIf([AOP]>0,
([BasicRate]-[Frame])/[AOP]/100*[Proportion]),
([BasicRate]-[Frame])/[OP]/100*[Proportion]),
([BasicRate]-[Frame])/[OP]/100*[Proportion])
So I was thinking could I setup a table to show:
FieldName AType StartDate AOP Calculation
Cost Skill <#01/08/2004# >0 ([BasicRate]-[Frame])/[AOP]/100*[Proportion])
Cost <>Skill Is Not Null Null ([BasicRate]-[Frame])/[OP]/100*[Proportion])
and then somehow perform the calculation rather than just look it up.
The main reason is it would be so much easier to see what is being calculated rather than try and weed my way through nested IIf statements.
Can anyone shed any light on this or maybe even a better way to accomplish what I am after?

Is it posible to perform calculations within a table or data entry form. I have a date of birth field and an age field. I have an Update Action Query that automatically works out the date, (See below). However if I design the form with a close form event that triggers the query I get the confirmation message. I can only supress all Action queries confirmation messages or none at all and I do not want to disable this. Therefore I would like the age to be calculated within the table, (or form if that was possible). However I do not know how to do it.
DateDiff("yyyy",[DateofBirth],Now())+Int(Format(Now(),"mmdd")<Format([DateofBirth],"mmdd"))

Is there a way to take a value entered in a table to calculate a new value to populate a second field in the table? For example, if the user enters that the company has received $100 from a client, I need to show that $100 in the income field of the table, but then also calculate the commission based on a formula, and save that new commission value as well.
I was doing this in a query, but then the value doesn't get stored...
Thanks...

I'm currently using a Dlookup function to display a calculated field from a query. This works fine when only one record is entered on the many side; however when additional records are entered it doesn't add the additional records. What function/code can I use to add each record's total as it's entered on the many side?
This is what is working when the many side only has one record:
=(DLookUp("[qryTotalBalance]![NetBalance]","[qryTotalBalance]","[CustID]= " & Nz([CustID],0)))

hi - i have tried search for the solution to my query - but to no avail, so here goes:
I have a query which is based on more than one table. In the query, I have specified a calculation, eg. Final Price: SUM([Sale Price] - [Discount])
From this query I have a form, just showing everything. Details are put into the form, and viola, they appear in the query if checked. However, they do not appear in the table
My assumption why this is not happening was because the Final Price is no longer "record source"d from the original table. How can I combat this so that it does appear in the table?
Thank you (sorry if it is easy - but i dont have a clue!)

Hi all, I have a problem in returning values from 2 different tables because they are not related. Let me explain:
I'm trying to do "Payment Due" query by substracting the amount in the "Cost" table with the amount in the "Payment" table ([CostAmount]-[PaymentAmount]). However, since no payment has been made, the table contains no related record.
At first I thought the problem lies in null values the table return hence I tried to use NZ function to convert null to zeros. Then I realised that no values has been returned from the table due to no related record available.
Can anyone help me?
Cheers

My Sales! table has fields [ItemType] and [Price] and VAT! table has [ItemType] and [VATRate].
Both tables has a common field which is [ItemType].
I am trying to make a query which will calculate the VAT figure by multiplying the Sales table [Price] with the corresponding [VATRate] in the VAT table by matching the [ItemType] in both tables.
I tried DLookup but couldn’t find a solution. How do I accomplish this?

Hi there,
I've read through the forums on saving the results of a calculation into a field is a bad idea. I somewhat understand the reasoning for it. But I don't think such situations arise for everyone.
But I have gone with the suggestion and created an updatequery, which simply goes through and updates the calculated value into a table. Now each time the updatequery is run its asking for permission as to the fact if I'm sure I want it to be run. How do I turn this option off. And should I call this updatequery afterupdate or beforeupdate?
Thanks

I am sure that in earlier versions it was easy to write the result of a calculated field on a form, back to a table, but I can't find the method in the help file for the current version of Access.
Would appreciate any help.

I shouldn't normally record calculated figures into my table. I'm willing to buck proper procedure here for ease of use for referencing in reports; also, it's just one data point that will be calculated only once and not changed.Anyhow, I have an IIF statement that calculates a total price based on a table of costs. I set this as the default value and it calculated properly - but once I set my text box to have a control source, it no longer calculates my cost.
I was hoping to set it so it calculated the cost and then write that total cost to my table.should mention that my calculated control is in a subform.

Access 2003. I am trying to save a calculated field (Item No) from a form to the accosiated field within the Products table
I have a hidden text box (itemNo) which is bound to the relevant field and a second text box with the following formula
="TV-" & Left(CatShort.column(1),3) & "-" & Format([ProductID],"0000") as its source
What I am trying to do is to provide an item number for each item of stock based on the Category short name (Catshort) and the incremented item ID Number, with a TV prefix.
I am aware that its a bad itea to place calculated field into the table if the calculation is likely to change, however once my calculation is stored it has no need to change.
I have tried the beforeUpdate method within the ItemNo textbox
Private Sub ItemNo_BeforeUpdate(Cancel As Integer)
Me!ItemNo = Me!ItemCalc
End Sub
but nothing happens (in that the table is not updated)
Any way of putting together an incremental item number based on the selected category with a "TV" prefix....

I have created a table with four fields. The names are:1stBusOn, 1stBusOff, 2ndBusOn, 2ndBusOff.
I want the time for the first two fields and the time for the second two fields to end up in a field called TotalRideTime.
Also, if only one set of the fields are completed I still want that total time to in up in the the TotalRideTime field.
