Need To Calculate Costs Only If Not Empty,dont Know How
Aug 14, 2007
I have a variable cost that is a calculated field (as in the colum only exists in a query not as a colum in a table) that is variable hours * variable rate....the problem is ppl at my company sometimes dont know how the costs are goign to be broken down so they only put a Variable Cost....
and since they dont know the rate and hours my calculated field returns nothing...
how can i accomplish this, VBA might seem the way to go but i don't know how to use it for Access.....
so basically i need to calcualte the variable cost only if they enter something in var hours and var rate...other wise the var cost should just be what the users type ( so i i guess i have to make Var Costs a column in the table to give users the option of entering it)
I have a query that calculates Total Costs as (total fixed + total variable). total fixed is ( fixed hours * fixed rate) and total variable is (var hours * var rate) as expected....
But one of my records only has Var hours and a Var rate,therefore calculates total variable fine, but since this certain product doesnt have any fixed cost my TOTAL COSTS record for that product is left BLANK??
If there is no fixed cost than the total cost should just equal total variable....
When you enter a fixed cost and rate it works as expected though...any idead please i am on a deadline, im pretty sure VBA is the easiest way to go but i dont know how to go about it, this query is the heart of the whole Application, it is used primarily as the source for a few reports so this throws off my totals.
I need to audit the freight bills charged by freight company which has over 20,000 consignment per week. The basic charge is base on distance and weight, something like this: SYD-MEL <1kg $6 SYD-MEL<3kg $6.7 SYD-MEL<5kg $7 SYD-MEL<10kg$10 SYD-MEL>=10kg $12, $4 per kg rate SYD-PER<1kg $10 .....
Based on the freight rate, how can I use Access to calculate the freight charge for each of the consignment ? Is there anyway to build some query or something to retrieve the freight rate and calculate the freight cost of each consignment?
Thank you for all the help i have gotten over the past couple days, as you can tell i am new and seek somebodys experience and wisdom to solve my issue.
I have a simple Form, That allows the users to enter contact information.
At the very top I have "Name" and "Age" and below it i have other fields such as Address, city, state, etc...
How can I make it so the user does not have access to the other information until they type in BOTH fields "Name" and "age" first.
Can somebody please show me how the Code might look like.
Sorry the title dosen't make much sense, can't come up with a good title. Here's the problem, I work in a hospital and I have a program that store patient's admit date and discharge date. My concern is, I need to calcuate patient days (the amount of days the patient stay in the hospital). Let's say a patient was admitted on Jan 15th and discharged on March 20th. So I need to build a query that capture the months, let's say I do it on Feb, how can I tell that this patient was here on Feb? since I have admit date and discharge date. Thanks
eg. we have 4 patients John Smith, Ortiz Prerez, Jim Johnson and Nancy Cruz and we are running the query for Feb.
ID Name AdmitDate Discharge Date "The result should be" 1 John Smith 1/2/07 1/26/07 24 patient days 2 Ortiz Perez 1/27/07 3/4/07 28 patient days (because this user was in the unit) 3 Jim Johnson 12/25/06 Null 28 patient days because of Feb month 4 Nancy Cruz 2/14/07 4/1/07 14 patient days
I have a query that has 11 dates on it, I am trying with iif statements to get it down to one column reflecting the most recent date out of the 11, for example 5/2/14 and 4/9/14, I would want to have 5/2/14. The problem with this is that most of the cells are empty and and I can't calculate empty date cells. my thought was to create a statement that goes something like this iif([Date1]="", "1", [date1]), obviously this does not work but I would like for it to show something other then nothing so that I can calculate on it.
I have set up a query for an invoice to work out the sum of the field etc, but another one of the criteria is to search between 2 dates, how can i have the dates set as variables which i already have managed but be able to make the sum of the prices just be set between these variable dates?
I'm setting up a delivery cost and location form. What i need this form to do is say i select Guildford for delivery i need the delivery cost text box below to say £12.50 without manually looking up the costs for that area and if it was Farnham then £24.00. What is the easiest way of doing it?
heres one that just don't add up from the beginning, i've got a form that puts data into a table from a text box named txtcomments, the table allows 255 chars to be stored the comments are show later using a copy of the input form, all this works great. now i'm taking this data and inserting it into another table using sql inset in the vb editor so i can play with it and leave the original in tact everything works fine on my test machine but when i transfere the database to the server i am only permitted to enter 127 chars in the text box i've narrowed it down to the sql statement and know that where the error is occuring ive tried deleting things and reinstalling im just going round in circles and when i transfere the database back to the test machine everything works fine the test machine uses access 2003 but the server uses 2000 this is the only differance
any help would be god like
john
ps sql statement as follows looks fine to me,
DoCmd.RunSQL "INSERT INTO tblHistory VALUES([txtcomments]);"
I have a problem that seems like it could be very similar to this post from a few years ago http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=46645&highlight=vba332.dll My problem is I dont know how to use Access other then open a program. This is for a customer and they dont know how to do it either as someone else devoloped their database. Basically it looks like the database is corrupt but I can not open it using a newer version of access because it has some permissions and I dont know how to go about making my access "look" like the other computer. Any help is appreciated Thanks James
I created a database for my company and it works very well but, I need it or something to track the way I pay comisions. Its a type of multi-level company and pay rates vary. Also, once someone hits the top level they now join in profit sharing. The profit sharing part is the tough part becase say person A is at the top he is a team leader and he gets money not only from his sales, but also from the people in his group below him. It must also be able to pay the correct person if someone quits, say Person D, the system knows that it all off person D's people under him go up to person C now. I hope this isnt to confussing, but im starting to confuss myself as im trying to set this up.
Is access able to keep track of an organization like this or should I try to use something else?
What I want to do, is have an unbound form, user enters data in to it, then clicks on a 'save' button which then writes the data to a new record within a table
I have got no idea what it is called so find it hard to do the search.
Im trying to make a simple database in access , so far all is going well but im stuck with the inventory. I have "products" table with Id [autonum],name[text],price[money], provider[number], stock[number] Providers table with Id[autonum] ,name [Text],tel[number], Employes table with Id[autonum], name[text],tel [number] and i have Sales table with Id[autonum],date[date],employer[number],product[number],quantity[number],total price[money]
I have relationships between table.provider and provider.name then sales.employer with employer.name and sales.product witht products.name.
Now what i want to do is that every time that i make a sale it modify my stock number on the products table. I think the proper way is just to calculate stock every time i need it but i dont know how to do that either :D Ill upload my db but i have to tell you that is in spanish so if you haveany question im here to answer.Thanks a lot to all
I ve performed a query on a table and now have a set of results which is fine for example £1.56, £1.98, £87.90 (ive set the values in to a currency format), now i want to calculate the total so i have run another query on the last and used 'sum' in the 'total' this calculates the value but rounds it to the nearest integer for example 91!
the thing is i have done this many times before and havent had this problem! i cant understand it, its seriously doing my head in. Ive tried allsorts including the 'round' function which doesnt alter it.
I have created a database in which I have three Fields. 1. Date Joined 2. Renewal Date 3. Member/Renewal
When I type in the date a person joins our club, I have made the renewal date come up displaying a year ahead, when renewal of membershiip is due.
I would like to be able to put in the date joined date and have the field 3 show Member and then when the renewal date is reached, to have in automatically change to Renewal.
It is probaly a simply formula but I can not get it right.
I have installed on my PC, WindowsXP sp.1, MSaccess versions 97 and XP. After I have tested some databases, MSaccess 97 don't works successfully more, but XP version works good. I can't modify files mdb. Access works like in run-time mode: bars and commands reduced, standard icon of access absent, database window absent, ecc. If macro autoexec or a form that play at the start of mdb are present, mdb works but it is impossibile to modify it. Otherwise mdb dont works, I can see access window with only menu files and window.
I have removed access and after yet installed it, but it don't work successfully.
maybe other application leaved files (or modification in file registry) that install procedure of access97 cant rewrite? And that dispose access 97 to work in run-time mode (or like)?
I am hopeless. Can You help me? Can you give me a list of files to remove, or list of modification to do in registry?
please can some1 help?? i created a form using wizard to display the information in three tables but wen the form is in form view theres nothing displayed yet in design view all the information is present. please please some1 help:(
I have a qry I need for picking the info for sending a series of letters out. I finally got it to work and now Im wondering if there is a better more efficient way. The qry I call to generate my report calls on information from 10 other queries and 7 tables. Some of the other queries are needed for other sub-forms that rely on the data. Is this something I should change? or just be happy it works??? -Dan :D
Hello, Really hope someone can help me. I have 2 lots of info in 1 table - nameley customer address & posting address

I'm trying to save a change made to a sql statement in an access query but everytime I save it and close the database, when i open it up back again, the query returns back to the old unchange sql statement like it never got saved. I checked the user permissions and they are all checked (no restrictions). Any help would be greatly appreaciated.
