What is the best way to track a rolling balance?

58 New Member
I have a small database that mostly keeps track of material quantities going into jobs we do. I have been able to make this work well for me. I now want to add the tracking of a rolling balance of one particular material that we keep a small amount in inventory. Is there a straight forward way to track a rolling balance in Access other than simply tracking the sums of the increases and decreases forever?

I'm not sure what you're working with here.
What data is available to you to work with?

You could create a tracking table which would tract the inputs and outputs of the inventory of this material which would allow you to get a balance at any time.

Or

You could have a rolling balance field which is updated by code whenever the inventory is increased or decreased.

Hello, Say I have a function with 5 MySQL queries that all insert or update the database. Now let's assume that during execution, the first 3 queries are executed fine but then the 4th one dies for some reason - problem with the database, connection, whatever. Obviously I can test the $result variable to see if it returns true or false, but given the case above, the database is now left in a "corrupt" state (assuming all 5 queries...

THE PROBLEM The % symbol is too vague when defining dimensions in CSS and HTML. It can relate to an inherited value, a measure of the containing element (which can differ between box models) or for background image placement, the size of the element minus the size of the image. A SOLUTION There should be new %-like units defined in CSS to specify what the measurement is a percentage of. These take the form of the % sign and one or...

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