I have read through all the past topics and couldn't find what I was
after so...
I am looking to store some calculated values (don't flame just yet,
just read on!). I have an piece of code behind a form which calculates
a percentage completion and an expected completion date of a job. I
would like to store this information in a separate table, along with
the actual date the values were calculated.
Whenever a job is completed I can see how far off my estimated
completion date is off the actual date and make any changes neccessary.
Within the code there are a few different algorithms used to calculate
the estimated completion date, so I would need to store this value as
well.
So Questions...
* Is this a valid exception to the "never store calculted values"
* Would the best idea be to use an append query?
If so could someone post the base code as I am not too hot with SQL!
Cheers,

I tried this code but it doesn't seem to work, or have any effect
what-so-ever!
With CurrentDb.OpenR ecordset("Snaps hotTable")
.AddNew
!ssstgKey = Me.stgKey
!ssDate = Date
!ssExpectedDate = Me.CompDate
!ssCompletion = Me.Completion
!ssAlgorithm = Algorithm
End With
(Where stg, CompDate, Completion are textboxs on the form; Date is
(hopefully) the current date; and algorithm is a variable defined in
the form.)
Hi James,
This is a valid reason, I my opinion, for storing the calculated value.
I also think that you would be better off using VBA write them to the
table.
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim sql As String
sql = _
"SELECT JobID, PercentComplete , ExpectedComplet ionDate " & _
"FROM tblJobs"
With rs
.Open sql, CurrentProject. AccessConnectio n, adOpenDynamic,
adLockOptimisti c
.AddNew
!PercentComplet e = CalculatedValue 1
!ExpectedComple tionDate = CalculatedValue 2
.Update
.Close
End With
Your VBA should look something like this.
Good luck

You have to update a recordset for the values to be saved, please see
my earlier example.
Good luck

i tried you code but still no result...
Dim rs As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim sql As String
sql = "SELECT ssDate, ssExpectedDate, ssCompletion, ssAlgorithm
FROM SnapshotTable"
With rs
***--- .Open sql, CurrentProject, adOpenDynamic,
adLockOptimisti c <----***
.AddNew
!ssDate = Date
!ssExpectedDate = Me.CompDate
!ssCompletion = Me.Completion
!ssAlgorithm = Algorithm
.Update
.Close
End With
If I included the ".AccessConecti on" on line 6 it didn't like it, not
recognising object.
The code above it fails on line 6, saying the arguments are in conflict
with one another. I'm sure this code will work... just a minor error
with that one line?

This is the right code to use.
rs.Open sql, CurrentProject. AccessConnectio n, adOpenDynamic,
adLockOptimisti c
However you must already have declared rs as a new adodb recordset, you
do so with the line of code:
Dim rs As New adodb.Recordset
It works for me every time!
