I have a formula box in my form (textbox) called InventLeft that would calculate product in my inventory. I'd like to make this box flash if the result in it is Less than 2..This way it would catch attention to my user to order more product..Is this possible? Thanks in advance..

I'm working on a series of forms for a company that I'm currently employed at, and on one of them I've made a listbox which will display records which need action in the next 2 weeks.
That's all going fine. However, it it possible to make the items in the listbox flash red? Just so that our external worker REALLY has no excuses!
Just to clarify, I want the text identifying the records (E.g. Name, FinalDate) to flash, but not the headers for the columns in the listbox.

Hi ..
I have an issue I do not know how to tackel. I have a select query that selects from three tables to calculate the commission for each transaction. The query is working just fine.
My problem is that I need an additional function ... What if I need to charge a special commission for that specific trade ?
I need to ammend the commission based on a figure I input in a text box from the form view.
Example:
- Commission (calculated by the query) is 100.00
- Special Commission (which is a text box on the form) is 80.00
Then Commission field = 80.00
PLEASE HELP .. Please let me know if you have any other suggestion in tackling this problem. Thanks
Query
Commission: IIf([Shares]![Currency]="USD" Or [Shares]![Currency]="CAD",IIf([Blotter]![Quantity]*[Clients]![USD_2]<[Clients]![USD_1],[Clients]![USD_1],[Blotter]![Quantity]*[Clients]![USD_2]),IIf([Shares]![Currency]="GBp" Or [Shares]![Currency]="EUR",IIf([Subtotal]*[Clients]![EUR_GBP_2]<[Clients]![EUR_GBP_1],[Clients]![EUR_GBP_1],[Subtotal]*[Clients]![EUR_GBP_2]),IIf([Subtotal]*[Clients]![HKD_JPY_2]<[Subtotal]*[Clients]![HKD_JPY_1],[Subtotal]*[Clients]![HKD_JPY_1],[Subtotal]*[Clients]![HKD_JPY_2])))
Here's what I have so far...and it works fine; however, some results have decimal places; i.e., 2.1666666.
I just need the result to be the whole number. I can't seem to get it to come out that way...I've used "round"...but I must not be putting it in the right part of the formula.
TEST: IIf(Year([EndTerm])>Year(Date()),0,IIf((Year(Date())-Year([EndTerm]))/[Renew]<1,1,(Year(Date())-Year([EndTerm]))/[Renew]))
Thank you for any help!

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 am creating a driving school database and have four different tables. Student, Instructor, Lesson and Lesson Type.
In the footer of my subform which works out what lesson type the student has taken and from which instructor, I have created a calculation to multiply the number of hours a student does to what type of lesson they take.
=([LengthOfLesson]*[cost]) (This works ok)
I then want to add all of these options together. I have tried:
=sum([OverallTotal]) in the footer (This doesn't seem to work)
and then
=[Booking].[Form]![OverallTotal] to show it in the form
The name of the subform is correct (booking) and name OverallTotal is also correct but I keep getting #error message.
1. I created a table that contains information about people and their details (mainly numerical info).
2. I created a form containing a command button and a label.
3. I have written a VBA script under the button so that when the button is pressed, the result of the calculation appears as the caption on the label.
My problem is...How do I get the script to run so it does the calculation for every record and places the result as a field in a query.
Hi,
I have used the Contacts template.
I want to make a simple calculation for mins remaining from sunbed courses.
So lets say one of my clients in my database was called Sally.
When I open up Sallys details screen I want it to show:
- What sunbed course she's on (inputed via details screen per course taken out)
- How many mins she's used (inputed via details screen per visit)
- How many mins remaining (calculated for us)
I don't know how to make these calculations!!!
I can not work out how to put formulas into the Contacts table.
Can anyone help me out please?

Hi.
I'am trying to count: todays date -12 month.
So how I tell access that I want answer which date is year from this date?
Or how I must "write" 12 months in SQL?
I need to create a form that using combo boxes selects a product-size-quantity, and then calculates total price.I asume that I create a query to make the calculation from the form, but for the life of me, I can't fathom out how to do it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.
Hi everybody,
Beginner here needs help !
I'm building a make-table query for which if the result is null (no record correspond to the set of criterias), a default message like "there was no activity during the period" would appear in the table (not a message box...I need the message in the output table). The best I could think of is an IIF function but it doesn't seem to work... Is there any way to do this without using VBA?
Thanks in advance !

Is it possible to fully flash (Clear) the MS Access application window title bar?
I mean to let it appear fully empty without the "MS Access" and the Access logo, the key.

Thanks,
I've created a form with a (simple) Flash animation on it, but it runs very choppy.
But when a message box is active, it runs perfect.
It seems that when the focus is off the form, it works fine, but otherwise, it doesn't.
Any ideas?

Hey.
My database would like, to make itself feel complete, a rele snazzy opening form.
I have flash 8 and I've created a 1024x768 movie with some simple animation on it.
I've managed to add the movie to the database as a ActiveX flash object and the animations play.
The problem is making the object larger! It's staying very small no matter how I change the properties of the control.
Any help would be much appreciated. For the sake of my databases mental health... of course. :cool:
To attach the movie I did so:

I have a form with one (field1) on it. Where users will enter data.
I would like to have a unbound textbox on the same form that will flash green if the data entered in field1 matches a value in Table. Or flash red if it doesnt find a match.
I tried the conditional formatting but i think my expressions are off.
I am working with Access 2010, on vista. What I have is a query made up of two tables, one product the other inventory. (see below) query.jpg
In the product table i have a field called "minimum reorder level". In the inventory table i have two fields one called "number in stock" and "number on order". What i want to happen is "number on order" to be filtered by the result, if the "number in stock", is less than "minimum reorder level", if it is, have the result placed in the "number on order" field. EG. if the "number in stock" = 2 and the "minimum reorder level" = 5 then 3 would be placed in the field "number on order" and only the second record from the query would be visible (see below) Query result.jpg The result of this would mean that the field "number on order" would be populated with the result and the and query would also use this to filter the record.
I want to add a number to my results within a query depending on the month and how many results. For example I have 10 results in my query 3 from January, 5 from March and the rest from April. The 3 from January would be 1,2,3. The five in March would be 1,2,3,4,5 and so on. Is it possible to do?
I'm using access 2003.
