Hi all,
I am very new to MS Access so please bear with me! I have created a
simple calculated field in my data entry form, yet when I view my data
table or try to generate a report based on this calculated field, no
value is posted. How/where do I get my calculated values to also show
up in the tables and reports?
Thanks,
Kelley

In tables? You don't. You are calculating the value on your form without
needing to store it and that is how you should do it. Put the same calculation
into any other form, report, or query that you need to see it in. In your table
you should delete the field where you thought you needed it.

Calculated _Fields_ are in Queries; calculated Controls are in Forms --
because the calculation is defined in the Control Source, they canNOT be
bound to a Field in the Form's RecordSource.

That's not a "may be," it is just not possible for a calculated Control to
be bound.
If that value can be calculated when needed (not necessarily, but usually,
from other values in the Record) then it SHOULD NOT be stored.
If it can't be, then (1) you can perform the calculation in an appropriate
event, in VBA code, and set the value of a bound Control or (2) you can have
an invisible Control bound to the Field in the RecordSource and set the
value of the calculated Control into the invisible Control to be saved.

Subform is based on a single-table query that contains a calculated field:
Amount: Round(CCur(Nz(*,0)),2)
Continuous subform displays this field in a text box named Amount.
As user enters new rows into subform, all rows show #Error in this box.
This only happens until they close the form, or move the main form to a
different record.
Worse, it only happens on the client's machine in the MDE.

I have a field in a report which is filled by a function. This is
because I want the values displayed in a particular way.
The field is filled with:
strVal = Format(ValLow, "$#,###") & " / " & Format(ValHi, "$#,###")
The difficulty lies when the concatenated string is too long to fit on
one line and needs to therefore fit on two lines. The detail section
is CanGrow and CanShrink, every field in the secton is CanGrow and

does anyone have any suggestions?

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.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
