I am having trouble working out how to update a field on an open form
with a calculation based upon calculations from other tables!
For example, I have 3 tables:
Diary
Diary_ID: autonum, primary key etc
Diary_Date: date/time
Diary_CaloriesT otal: number
Calories
Calorie_ID: autonum etc
Diary_ID: number - linked referentially to Diary.Diary_ID
Food_Lookup_ID: number lookup on food table
Calorie_Amount: number
Calorie_TotalVa lue: number (this is amount * food.value)
Food
Food_id: autonum etc
Food_Name: text
Food_Value: number
I have a main form for Diary and a sub form for Calories (plus a
"setup" form for food).
When you create a diary entry you can add Calorie information and in
the subform it quite happily calculates the total for each food entry
AND displays a runing total in the sub-forms footer.
However, I'd like to update Calories_Total on the Diary form with this
same running total from the sub-forms footer.
I don't mind if this is done on-the-fly or via a button etc.
I know the SQL to use in a query to ge the values, but I don't know how
to get that value in VBA to pass to the field. i.e. When I run the
SQL, how to I get a return value?
Or is there another way using queries where [Calories].[Diary_ID] =
[!forms].[diary].[diary_id]
[As additional information: In the future I'll have forms for using
calories too, so want to have a total used, total eaten and then the
net total on the diary form]
Thanks for any assistance.

Let's say I have an html form with 20 or 30 fields in it. The form
submits the fields via POST to a php page which updates a table in a

1) simply UPDATING the values for all fields in the table, whether or
not any particular field has actually changed
2) running a second SELECT statement and comparing the $_POST vars to
the returned values, and only UPDATING those that have...

I am working on a genealogy form. The only table (so far) lists everybody

This one is difficult to explain, so I will cut it down to the basics.
I have a major table 'tblA' which has an autonum field 'ID-A' as primary key
(of no significance to users). 'tblA' contains many fields including
picture and memo fields. The main user-selectable field is 'NameA'.
There is also a crossreference table (let's call it 'tblB') which provides a
secondary method of accessing records in 'tblA'. The main fields in 'tblB'...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
