I'm new to access programing and have been working on a handover form for shift workers, as part of the handover we have to include call volumes forcast and actual calls received over a period.
I have a form which links to my table (Handover) the two fields are named, "239 Forcast 18:30-00:00" & "239 Actual 18:30-00:00" I then want to add a third column with percentage variance to show wether the percentage of calls is higher or lower than forcast.
I manually input the data into the forcast and actual fields and want this to then populate a textbox for the variance percentage next to this.
So far I have tried:
=Sum(100-[239 Forcast 18:30-00:00]/[239 Actual 18:30-00:00]*100)
The above sum seems to be a little unstable and when switching to view different handovers the value in the variance stays the same, regardless of the figures in the mentioned fields.
I'm trying to create a report that has three sections.
Section 1 = Planned Cost; Section 2 = Actual Cost; and Section 3 = % Variance.
I was able to build the first two sections easily with my query, but I'm having some trouble with the % variance part. Would I have to build that into the query itself, or is there an easier way to do it within the Access report fields?
Below I've included a mock-up (drawn in Excel) of what I'd like the Access report to look like.
Also, for reference, this is what the query used for my report looks like. Note: The original raw data looks a bit different, but I used a crosstab query in order to get the months of the year to appear horizontally as fields. (That's how I need my final report to look.)
In my form I would like a text box to display the two combined i.e. £10.000.00 (83.33%). At the moment it displays 10000 83.3333333333333. I can use £#,##0.00 to format the current half, but how can I then format the percentage to display 83.33%?
I am working in Access 2007. I have a form with 3 text boxes of which I need the Textbox3 to calculate a SUM of the input values from Textbox1 and Textbox2. These text fields will compute ONLY when the record is saved OR if there is a prepopulated value in the text field. EX. When textbox1 is populated with a value when I Openform, then as I input a value into textbox2 I immediately see the SUM in textbox3. Works great in this scenario. However, if both textboxes 1&2 are null, and I input a value into each, then I won't see the SUM in textbox3 UNTIL I save record.
How can I get the SUM to display after inputting the value of my textbox1&2?
I have a form that has 3 combo boxes and a text box that I want to be a lookup. I have a little experience with DLookUp, but I do not think that will work here. The three combo boxes are linked to queries, and Tables. The first combo box is for choosing "Precious" or "Base" metals. The second combo box is filtered from the first and displays the "Metal Names". The third combo box is to choose a "Metal Market". There are currently four options for that. I want the text box to display the "Metal Market Price" based on the second and third combo box selections.
Here is a screenshot of the table with all of the metals and their market prices filled in with dummy values for now:

Here is a screenshot of the relevant Form: Metals form screenshot.PNG
Here is a screenshot of the Table that relates to the relevant form: Metals table design.PNG
Here is a screenshot of the Metal Market table that the Query is based on: Metal Market Table.PNG
I am working on a change control database where the users can enter a new version for the software they just released and send out a notification to the appropriate persons. I have a form where the user can select a combobox to pick the software version, which is bound to my "Releases" table. From the software version I use a DLookup in VBA to change the value of a another unbound text box using:
This all works fine when I'm entering data in the form, but if I want to print the form, the unbound text box on each page is only calculated from the first record. The same thing happens if I build a report with the same fields and code.
For example: In print preview the text box on page 1 should say "Cat" based on the current record and the text box on page 2 should say "Dog". However, they both say "Cat"
How do I get the text box to display the new value on each page?
I have a form, with a tab control on it. Each tab has a subform to display data. One tab is meant to be a summary tab of the rest, so I want to pull data from certain controls on each of the other tabs to display on the Summary tab.
If I set the ControlSource to Forms!subfrmLABOUR!txtTotalHours.Value the control just displays #Name?
I assume that means it can't reference the ControlSource. Is it just a syntax thing? I've tried various methods, but no luck.
I have an Access 2009 report that displays the sums at the bottom of some columns. Is there a way to calculate and display the percentage one sum is of another?
Ive tried DVar but maybe Im not understanding the function correctly. I have a crosstab query that will only ever return 2 columns of data (sales for the current month and the previous month).
I want to add a column that will show the variance between these 2 columns. I can add a 'Total' column but can I add a variance column?If not a built in function any other custom function?
Me.TxtNotAllowed.Visible = True dtTimer1 = Now dtTimer2 = Now + TimeValue("00:00:10") Me.TxtNotAllowed.Value = "You do not have permission to use this database !" Do Until dtTimer1 >= dtTimer2 dtTimer1 = Now() Loop Me.TxtNotAllowed.Value = "" DoCmd.Quit
The above code will run definitely for the 10 seconds however the textbox and contents do not display HOWEVER if stepped through with breakpoints line by line and the form checked each time the textbox DOES display and its contents.
How to set combo box for example doctor name with 2 field which display doctor name and department.
Lets say if i select doctor name : Eric and automatically display doctor department as: Surgery in text box. Then I can save patient record on appointment table.
I have a calculated value in an unbound textbox (avghcppmw). I want to run a query (qinsphistory) in which one of the fields is the value of the textbox (avghcppmw).
Is there any way to pull the value from the form and display it in the query. I'm assuming not.
I also assume the only way to do this would be to create a query that would calculate the textbox value and base (qinsphistory) on the newly made query.
Table1 has field (% Completed this Period) that may contain a value, or may be NULL for each entry, depending on how much work was performed that period. The records are sorted by date.
Form1 has a textbox that basically keeps a running tally of "% Completed to Date" by summing the "% Completed this Period" for the current period and all previous periods. So, my Control Source for the textbox is the DSum(...) function.
The problem is this: If I am looking at the first record and there is a 0 (null) value for "% Completed this Period," (i.e. No work was completed that period), I want to display 0 on Form1. However, Access just displays nothing - a blank textbox. I tried making a default value, but nothing will show up since I already have a Control Source set for that field. If I take the DSum function out of the Control Source, then the 0 will show up. But, obviously that defeats the whole purpose of the textbox. I guess I'm trying to figure out how to display the DSum value IF it is something other than 0, BUT IF IT IS 0, then I want 0 to be displayed. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm trying to use ghudson's browse button in a form on MS Access. It works well, but I'm running into a tiny bug after implementing it into my database.
[URL] ....
I am able to browse, I am able to select a file, and am also able to have it display into the hyperlink textbox. However, when I try to click on the hyperlink in the textbox, it does not take me to the file.
To fix the bug, and to get the hyperlink working again, I have to modify the hyperlink within the textbox, then bring it back as it was. (generally, I hit backspace, and replace the letter I removed.)
I have a textbox in a form. What I want it to do is to display the following weeks Monday date. Sounds simple but requires you to know the Monday dates in advance ...
I'm enrolling medical centers in a new multi-center database. There are a number of steps that must be completed before the center is enrolled in the project. I have a form that serves as a checklist. I want the textbox at the bottom of the form to display the percentage of steps completed. I guess you would have to count the number of fields on the form that are filled in, but I don't know how to do it.
I have a date textbox (Week_Ending) and number textbox (Staff_ID) in a form (frmHourEnter), when both have values I open another form (frmStaffReport) with textboxes (txtDateStart and cmbStaff).

I have a text box on 'Forma' & a textbox (named text3) on 'Formb'. I want to copy the contents of the textbox from 'Formb' to the textbox on 'Forma'. I have used the following code in the textbox on 'Forma'....
=Forms![Formb]![Text3].text
This doesn't seem to be working whether both Forms are open or only 'Forma'. Could somebody please advise as to what I am missing. Your assistance is very much appreciated.
