Dsum

I am trying to have a button on my order form that will work out how
much is outstanding on the order

on the form i have the total value of the the order and also have text

box that i want to dispaly the remaning amount.
I store all the payments in a subform.
The code i use works apart from when no payments are in the subform,
How can i change the code to make it work
RemainingToPay = Total - DSum("[Amount]", "tblPayment s", "[OrderNumber]

= Forms![frmOrder]!OrderNumber.Va lue")

That's because if there are no records, DSum returns Null (which you
can test in the Immediate window), and any calculation with null
results in null.
So wrap an Nz() around it, and you should be golden.

I'm using Access 97 and need some assistance in sorting out a proper DSum expression, or maybe even DCount might be an alternative. I have tried numerous combinations, but with no apparent success. The DSum function relates to a subform (sfrmCost) with a text box (RefCost) which is intended to be the container for a total from a query (qryItems). The query has three number columns from the table (tblItems) of which I have an expression...

I seemed to be having problems with structuring the use of NZ with a DSum expression. Having tried numerous variations of the expression without success, I'm asking for assistance. First some background (Access 97) - the DSum expressions are being used in grand total text boxes on the footer of a subform. And when viewing the subform in the linked main form the two grand total boxes display #Error if no entry had been made. Those with...

Acc 97 Hi, I have the following in my query which works well if it is all set to numbers on table design. But what I want to do is where it states MC (short for machine name) use the actual machine name of which there are 5 off. therefore, on the table design I flick it over to text mode.

Hi: I have a form, and wish to show on the form the current total for a single field on a table. I have set this up thus: =DSum(,!) in an unbound text field. These are correct field and table names. While the formulation is accepted by the system, nothing appears in the field and no results show up at all. I tried a number of combinations with no success. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks

All, I have never used this function before and am not sure it what I need. Just to clarify, I have a report based on a query which has amoungst other field, wk, parea & packs_req. What I am trying to do is create a subreport for the main report which gives a generalised breakdown of the main report. For the gender of 'Ladies', there may be several parea's so I want to sum the packs_req for ladies only. (Gender is not a field I can use,...

I would like to calculate a total for all the field with the same in a query. I don't know how to set the "criteria" for this dsum function, it should be something like = but it doesn't make sense. The query is something like: +-- --- ---- ---- --- ---+ +--1-----Alpha-------a1----------------1------------4------------------+ +--1-----Alpha-------a2----------------3------------4------------------+

To start, here is my DSum expression: Develop: Nz(DSum(". & "] + . & "]","CSO","='Ability to Develop'")*-1,0) I actually have 4 of these, each one with a different option for . For more context, the . part is drawing from a separate reference table which cycles through plugging in the name for each DB_ and Ben_ field in the CSO table. What I want to do is add another layer of criteria, the field which exists in the same CSO table. I'd...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
