overtyping field with formula

Zac
Hi,

I have field in a form that calculates a value (field is defined in a
query).
How can I overtype the result of formula?! I have to save data in a table or
....
That field is a part of calculations in other fields.

As you may know you can't write to a query, that's what you are trying
to do essentially.
A workaround may be an "Edit" button next to the field, which opens an
input box(another form) with a submit button. Enter your new value,
and on clicking submit, have an update query run for whatever field
your trying to write to.

Hi, I'm trying to count field login totals for users which updates another field in another table. Which is the most efficient method? I don't want to use a standard query as it will take too long if there are 1000 users per company each with 1000 plus logins. I was thinking in terms of either a function, or a formula (using the built- in formula field within mssql).

Hi I have a main report and a sub report. I have a formula field on the main report and one on the sub report. I want the formula in the subreport to be evaluated after the formula in the main report. The sub report is called in the report header of the main report and the formula fields are in the details section of the reports. Main report looks something like this.

I've created a formula field called "BaseField" in a crystal report in VS 2003. At run time, I dynamically change the formula depending which field the user selects to view for example FieldName = "{@DistanceKm}"; rpt.DataDefinition.FormulaFields.Text = FieldName; At run time, even though I've set decimal places to 2 in the property editor

I have a crystal report that someone else wrote and already has a Formula Field if Criteria then (Count ({FirstField},{SecondField}) / Count ({FirstField})) When the Criteria is true, this calculates a percentage for all rows. This Formula Field is then used as data in a bar chart that uses FirstField for the x-axis and the percentage for the y-axis. That was all already working just fine. Now I need to change it so that the Count...

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

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
