I just need a 'logical' point in the right direction on this one.
What I need to do is create a form or a report where someone can't
enter different criteria and see the results of a calculation based on
the criteria.

For example, if the vehicle sold is an SUV and gross profit is less
than 3% and salesman is part of a particular team and commission is
1%, give the dollar amount of commission on that sale.


There would be about 15 different scenarios that include a set of
criteria in each one, but we want to enter different commission
percentage rate and see the results of all the scenarios,

I envision entering 1 as a parameter (1 % commission) and it runs a
report with all the predefined scenarios similar to whats in the
example above, showing the dollar commission amount of each sale.

I know I probably didnt explain this well, but if anyone out there
knows what I'm getting at, please help...

We're basically using historical sales records to see what the
commission would be on those particular sales if we changed the %
based on multiple criteria

Write a function that takes all your criteria as parameters and returns the
calculated value. Use it as the source of a calculated control on your
reports, forms or queries.
