Update Current Row based on Previous Row

I have a small table that need to keep a balance of work outstanding. The
fields are as follows

REC_COUNT (auto-index created record counter)
DATE (work date)
QTY_REQD (work added on that date)
BAL (balance of work outstanding at the end of that date)

The field REC_COUNT is used as a sort order field so that there is no
confusion about which record is next.

I need to be able to read the BAL from the previous record and add to it the
the QTY_REQD. I have tried using a query (I am not a VB programmer) using
'Dlookup' where the REC_COUNT is the current REC_COUNT-1 but cannot get this
to work. I have tested the theory of the DLookup OK by returning the
REC_COUNT from the previous record. I assume this works as the REC_COUNT
already exists for all records. However, the BAL field is null until this
query runs.

Can anyone throw any light on how I can achieve this with a query?

Regards

Tom

Hi, I have a relativley large/complex typed dataset that contains 7-8 tables and some supporting relational tables (lookups) for many-to-many relations. A good exampel would be a dataset that contained the whole Northwind database with all tables and relations. In my business logic I will retrive a populated instance of the dataset and perform some operations (adding/deleting/updating of rows in various tables...).

I have an ASP.NET/VB app that updates values in a DataTable over the course of about 3 different pages. On the way out of the first of these pages, I explicitly build the DataTable from values in a DataGrid, and set the PrimaryKey of the DataTable to be the first cell in the grid (which is a UserID value). I then store the DataTable in a session object, from which it is retrieved for subsequent pages. All this seems to be working fine. ...

Hi, Is there a way to update the same web page instead of getting a new page each time we click the submit button? The simplest thing to do is to delete the current page (or go back to the previous page) and then redraw the page. There are a few possible solutions: 1. Use the same URL again. But a new page will still be created. 2. Use the "onsubmit" option:
