OK, I figured out how to make a calculation. My big problem now is to have a global field, which would be "beginning balance" and "ending balance". I have 5 employees that share the budget. The budget starts at $1280.00. One employee may buy somthing one day and then another day while another employee may also buy something. I want to be able to put in the amount the employee spent and have it deduct from the balance. But then when I go to another employee and subtract what they spend I want that to subtract from the balance. I want the balance to be visible at all times no matter what employee I am on. Hope this makes sense. I have an attached file that shows how I did it for one employee. Cannot figure how to be able to do it for each employee and just the balance changes. Also I built a subform to be able to show different dates. But the problem again is having it subtract from one global balance. Thank you.
I want to use several values entered in form controls as variables within multiple subs triggered by further form edits. I do not want to define the variables in each sub as this will bloat my code, but I am not being successful in declaring my variables outside of an individual sub, and it is the 'Form!' reference that is throwing it I think.
Here are my variables:
Code: Dim limit0txt, limit1txt, limit2txt, limit3txt As Integer limit0txt = Forms!F_Samples_CF_FF_FLot!SF_EnviroCountLimitscntrl.Form!Limit0 limit1txt = Forms!F_Samples_CF_FF_FLot!SF_EnviroCountLimitscntrl.Form!Limit1 limit2txt = Forms!F_Samples_CF_FF_FLot!SF_EnviroCountLimitscntrl.Form!Limit2 limit3txt = Forms!F_Samples_CF_FF_FLot!SF_EnviroCountLimitscntrl.Form!Limit3
If I put these at the top of a module I get an "invalid outside procedure" error message. If I put these in their own module as 'Public' I get the same error. how within a forms code module I can make these variables available to as many events as I like?
im doing a report based on a query (which has a few fields, including KTYPE, EXPIRATION_DATE, OVERAGE). im trying to determine the OVERAGE based on the following conditions:
here are the conditions:
if KTYPE="PO", then OVERAGE:=(EXPIRATION_DATE + 6 months) ie.. KTYPE=PO, OVERAGE:=(01/04/2004 + 6 months) = 07/04/2004
if KTYPE="IAA", then OVERAGE:=(EXPIRATION_DATE + 20 months)
if KTYPE="FA", then OVERAGE:=(EXPIRATION_DATE + 12 months)
and so on and so forth.
I'm very new to Access. What formulas do I use and do I put the formula in the query or the report.
I have a cross tab query that has field names 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 representing months and a relevance date field with a date.
I have a form and from that form i need to get the value of the last three months from a relevance date field.
I.e relevance may be 01/10/2005 so i would need 3 labels, (labels are already made, but there source needs to be) 10, 9, 8. But the next row may have a relevance date of 01/08/2005 in which case it would be 8,7,6.
Quick question that I suddenly have gotten stuck on: How do I use a global var in the query builder grid as a parameter? It keeps putting quotes around it - ?!
Having some problems with a calculated field on a form. The field came from my table but I typed in the calculation (=[cost_price]+[sale_price]) and it works fine but it wont save to my table so when I run a repot off it doesnt have any of the calculated values because they arent saved in my table??? Can anyone help?
How do I get a field to calculate this formula? I want a script to find the precise current date and from another field find a number and add it to the current date day to make current date + number = date in the future.
For example Field: Total Nights Hired = 2 Field: Date due back = 23/02/07 + 2 = 25/02/07
I am sorry if I did not explain this well enough. I am totally new to databases but need help in my corsework. I am designing a video rental system.
So here is my problem i am semi access savy but i have having trouble with one thing. At work when we make a schedule there are 5 possibilites for how you want to mark your day. I have created a field using text as my parameters since my possibilities include both letters and numbers. At the end of each week I need to create a calcuation only utilizing the number which is 1 to add up the total shifts in the week.
I have tried some IIF statements with no luck. The 5 possiblities are 1, c,r,a,l. Each of the letters stand for something. When the scheduler runs the query he needs to see the letters or the number for each day. But i can't create a properly working calculated field for adding all of the 1's together only. The letters don't need to be added. Any ideas?
Also I have to run a sum for the total of each day at the bottom so I am running into the same problem there if there is any letters in the boxes. Going to a number field is not an option thanks for the help
Below is the code I have written to calculate the arrival and departure times based on the users input on time in the air (tripETE) and on the ground (tripGT). The arrival (txtArrTimeZulu) and departure (txtDepTimeZulu) times are unbound boxes since there is no need to save the information. My problem is when the next leg's ground or air times are entered, it updates the arrival and departure times for all the records to that value; overwritting the previous legs times. What am i missing here? Do i need to open a recordset when opening the form or when entering "TripETE" and "TripGT"?....
I have a report which is a statement. I want to be able to have a field that calculates rent, and minus payments. There are a few rent types, Pro Rated rent, Rent brought forward and rent changed, then there is 1 payment type. I am trying to write the sum a few ways, but have not had success. If rent type i= 1 or 2 or 3 I want it to add, if rent total = 4 I want it to minus.
=Sum(IIf([RentType]=1 Or 2 Or 3,[RentAmount],0))-Sum(IIf([RentType]=4,[RentAmount]))
I have 3 different forms, each belonging to 3 different tables. The user is required to enter data on form 1 then form 2 & then form 3. The records on all the 3 forms has to be attached to the same primary key. The problem is that the user has to enter the same primary key for each form. I want to be able to carry the primary key entered on form 1 to form 2 and form 3, so that the user does not have to type it 3 times. How can i accomplish this ? Can i call the last primary key entered on table 1 and automatically pop it up on form 2 & 3 every time form 2 & 3 load? Thanks
I have an access form called forma. It has a command button. When I click a command button, FormB opens up and FormA closes. The FormB also has a command button. When I click the command button of Form B, it closes and opens FormC. Like this there are total 30 forms. What I need is. I want to count the no. of clicks of the command button in total. Actually each button is a correct option of A multiple choice question. I tried to declare a public Variable called total in the declareation of the first form and tried to use it directly in the succeding forms. It does not capture the values. How can I increase the value of the varialbe declared in the first form even after the form closes and capture till end. Actually I also should be able to send the value in a table. Please Help Me.!
I have the calculation =DateDiff("yyyy",[DOB],Now()) in the Data/Control source properties of a numeric field in a database/form which correctly calculates age in years from a date field DOB. How do I get this field to save to the database? Georgina
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, My company has renamed a product. I want to find all the records in all the tables in my database that might have the old name, and replace with the new name. What's the easiest way to do this?
I don't really want to have to manually open each table and do a find.
I can write code to go through all the tabledefs and do a find on each one, but the only way I know to do that is by telling it the field name, and field names where the product name might exist vary.
I suppose I can tell it something like for each TD in tabledefs for each F in td.fields {search and replace} next f next t
Is this really the best way? I have a program called SpeedFerret, which I thought would do this, but it apparently only searches the table names, not the actual records in the table.
Anyone know how to reference a global variable as criteria for a query?
I am currently using invisible text boxes on an intermediary form as criteria for my query and it works fine, but this solution seems inellegant and I'm looking for something a little smoother. I just need the correct syntax to reference a variable in the criteria section of a query.
Got a problem trying to reference a global variable in the control source of a text box.
If i do a DLookup when the form opens and have the text box value = the result it works fine ie
Private Sub Form_Open(Cancel As Integer) Text2.Value = DLookup("UserName", "Users", "[UserID]= " & MyUserID) End Sub
Where MyUserID is the global variable.
if i put = DLookup("UserName", "Users", "[UserID]= " & MyUserID) in the control source of Text2 i get #Name? as a result and if i input = DLookup("UserName", "Users", "[UserID]= 1") i get the correct result.
As a test i tried to have the control source = my global variable, of another text box control source with the same result.
It looks like i can only reference my global variable within the VB and not in the forms control sources. Is this correct or can you referece the Global variable in the control source.
