MS Access: Need Help W/ Calculation In Text Box
Jul 12, 2005
Could someone please help me with a calculation expression? I want the calculation to be in an unbound text box on the main form ([Primary View])which should calculate the sum total all records shown in the subform that contain a calculated field in the subform ([CBR Data Subform]!Rentable). The subform is set up in the main form to show records that pertain to one record in the main form. Right now, I have the following shown in the textbox:
=([CBR Data Subform]!Rentable) and I get a result but its not what I need.
I have tried:
=Sum([CBR Data Subform]!Rentable), &
=DSum([CBR Data Subform]!Rentable)
and I get error messages.
What other expression can I use or how can I improve the expression?
Thanks,

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

Hi all,
I have a form tha is based on a table and a subfrom on another.The two tables have a valid 1 to many relationship and all is well record viewing wise.
Now I have some financial data like the fee that was agreed upon on the main form on a text box .On the subform the user can enter the payments made on variou dates.
What I want is to be able to have a text box on the main form that will do the subtraction (fee - all the various payments) and display that on the main form.Is this possible cause I cant seem to be able to do it and if it is not, is there another way for this to be done.
Thank you very much for your time :)

Hello,
I've got a text box on my form header with a calculation in the control source that adds values from other text boxes on my form.
My problem is that since the calculation is in the control source of my text box I can not save the sum of the calculation to a field on the forms bound table.
Is there a way to move this calculation out of the control source and still have the calculation populate this text box with the sum of the calculation, so I can choice a field in which to save this calculations sum.
Calculation in the text box control source=
[Tot40yrcomp]+[Totfelt1536]+[Totfelt3036]+ there will be many more other text boxes added.
It was suggested to me to have a Variable hold the calculation, I’ve been trying to write a variable but nothing seems to be working, I’ve been trying to place this variable I made into the after update and before update of the text box Nothing works I get all 0.00 in the form header text box, Here’s the code for the variable I made, can some one see if it looks correct.
Dim calcVariable
calcVariable = [Tot25yrcomp] + [Me.feltstot]
mat25yr = calcVariable
I was wondering if I need to say Me.mat25yr = calcVariable
Thanks--Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have a make table query which needs to take the column "Amount Orig Ccy" from the table "Consolidated Reporting Table Orig CCY", divide it by the Canadian Spot rate input by the user into text box "Spot" on the form "Summary Form", and then populate the column "Amount USD" with the returns.
Should I be using the DLookup function? I tried the below without success:
Amount USD: DLookUp("Amount Orig Ccy","Consolidated Reporting Table Orig CCY"/[Forms]![Summary Forms]![Spot])
Then I tried this, again failing:
Amount USD: DLookUp("Amount Orig Ccy / Spot Rate","Consolidated Reporting Table Orig CCY","Spot Rate =" & [Forms]![Summary Forms]![Spot])
Is it a syntax issue or will DLookUp not work for what I need?
Thanks for any help.

Got a database that is working great
1 table - Employees
2 Queries
1) - QEmployees Extended
2) - QyrsEmp
2 Forms
1) - Employee Details (source control is "QEmployees Extended")
2) - Employee List (source control is "QEmployees Extended")
in Form "Employee Details" there is field named "HireDate" this field is also found in the table (records) "Employees" and "QEmployees Extended".When Form "Employee Details" is ran the "HireDate" appears as it should in the "HireDate" text box.
What I want to do is add a unbound text box to Form "Employee Details" named "txtYrsEmp" (Years Employed). and perform a calculation that will take the "HireDate" (date) and compare it to "Todays Date" and come up with the number of years employed rounded by 2 and show this result in the unbound text box called "txtYrsEmp"
Now I did a Qurey just to see if I could calculate what I wanted- "QYrsEmp" where in the first column I entered in the Field row (top) Expr1: EmployeeID from table Employee and in the second column I entered in the Field row (top) txtYrsEmp: Round(DateDiff("d"'[HireDate],NOW()/365.25,2))
Now the query returns the exact results I want so I know the calculation is possible at least here in the query.

I am running in to a brick wall with this. I have an unbound text box with the control source set to =IIF([text42]=0,0,[text42]/[text44])*100 and in continues to return a #name? error.
I am not sure how to get this expression to work. I have even tried to put =[text42]/[text44] and I still get the #name? error.

I just want it to deduct:
one numeric field from another - to get a miles travelled number ?
one currency figure from another - to get how much more/less fuel was used than last month ?
also to work out:
an average of 3 figures
to multiply one figure by another ?
Is this possible ?
How easy is it ?
This is because I want to move my Excel spreadsheets to Access so I can alalyse it better and create custom reports. But despite browsing Access for a while, I can't find the features I need, or anything in the help file to help me.
I've been using Access for a few years (Access 2000) and have created two custom databases from scratch.

I need to find the average in a combination of 4 fields. In the footer of my sub form I have written =sum([amt paid in]+[dividends] / [units bought]-[units sold]). I have placed an unbound box in the detail portion with the following =[table1 subform].[form]![av dollars]. When I run the program, I get an outlandish number as the answer. I am a novice at this and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I am creating a table in 07 and I want my table to be able to calculate the difference between two amounts. I have the column "price" which shows the total amount, another one called "money paid" which shows how much of the total amount they have paid so far and the third is "money owed" which is the difference that i want to be calculated automatically.
Do you know any way to do this??

Let's say that you have a cookie jar that's to be shared with two children, let's call them Jack and Jill.
You know that to start with (t = 0), there are 100 cookies in the cookie jar
Now the strange thing about Jack and Jill is that they start eating cookies on different days and that their cookie appetite depends on the number of cookies in the jar when they start, Specifically
Jack has an appetite of 10% of the total cookie jar and he starts eating on day one.
Jill eats after Jack and she has an appetite of 5% of the jar.
So what this would look like is:
Day 0 - Cookie Jar has 100 cookies
Day 1 - Jack eats, Cookie Jar has 100 - 100(10%) = 90 cookies
Day 2 - Jill eats, Cookie Jar has 90 - 90(5%) = 85.5
Problem:
1. Given that I have a table containing the starting number of cookies e.g.:
CookieTable
Startingcookies
100
2. Given that I have a table containing a record for Jack and a record for Jill, each with two fields: Eating Start date, Appetite % e.g.:
AppetiteTable
Child, EatingDay, Appetite%
Jack, 1, 10%
Jill, 2, 5%
What will the query look like that:
1. Calculate the number of cookies in the cookie jar over time e.g.
Day 0, Day 1, Day 2
100, 90, 85.5
2. Calculate the total number of cookies eaten by Jack and Jill e.g.
Child, Cookies Eaten
Jack, 10
Jill, 4.5

I have played with this problem for 3 days and have come close but not quite solved it. My problem, I have several drivers delivering several orders, the orders are named 101, 102 and so on lets say to 150. Due to locations of the drivers, some deliver more orders then others. I want to be able to create a report that looks like
"Driver #1 101 - 106"
"Driver #2 107 - 110"
Driver 1 delivered 6 orders. Driver #2 delivered 4 orders and so on.
I have tried the 'count" which gives me the number of orders per driver but having trouble figure out the design of the calculation in the query.

I'm pretty new to Access. I was wondering if it's possible to make a calculation for a specific row in an Access form.
I placed an example in the attachment (I made it quick in paint, because the actual Access form is in my language "Dutch" ):
Value1 and Value2 come from a database, so the amount of rows can change. When I click on "Calculate" on the first row, it should calculate 12 * 13 and show the solution only on row 1. If I click on "Calculate" on the second row, it should show the solution of 10 * 20 only on row 2.
I tried to solve this by using the following VBA code:
Private Sub Calculate_Click()
Solution.Value = Value1.Value * Value2.Value
End Sub
But if I click on the first "Calculate" button, it will fill all solutions with the first calculation (12 * 13).. The same happens when I click on "Calculate" on the second, third row etc.

We need to move rich text from an Access memo field to a Word text box. So far the best Ive been able to come up with is in the code below. In this code pprs!What is a record set field of a table memo field that is bound to a text box enabled for rich text. The rich text seems to be stored as html as so I can get word to convert it by enclosing it in html tags.

Dim sPath As String
sPath = "G:Temp.html"
Open sPath For Output As 1
Print #1, "<HTML>" & pprs!What & " </HTML>"

KTYPE=text; EXPIRATION_DATE=date/time; OVERAGE=date/time
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.
Please help. thanks in advance

Hello all,
I have a datasheet with a list of names stored in a cell, separated by semi-colons. I want to separate that list into separate columns. In Excel, I would use Data/Text to Columns. Is there some sort of Query something that would do that for me in Access?
Please advise!
