Access Queries for financial calculations

2 New Member
I'm new to Access and I have Access 2003. I'm creating a database to manage projects that our company puts out bids for and I need to find a way to be able to track the status of them weekly. I have dates of when bids are made and when they are signed by the client, but I want to have the database be able to keep track of every week which ones were pending during which week. Basically, I want to try to get the database to recall that yesterday the bid was pending but today it was signed. That way I can run reports for them to say Week 1 $x,000 was pending, Week 2 $x,000 was pending, etc.

Is this possible in Access? If so, how can I accomplish this?

This will require a tblProjectStatu s with the projectID and the Status and the StatusDate.
Having this table will allow you to query the MAX() statusdate for a certain week (and then the status), or all statuschanges during a weekly period.

Getting the idea ?

Hi, I'm a bit confused ... when would I rather write an database application using MS Access and Visual Basic and when (and why) would I rather write it using Visual Studio .Net? Is it as easy in Visual Studio to create reports and labels as it's in Access?` The advantage of VS.net is that not every user needs Access, right? And that would eliminate the Access version problem as well I guess.

Hello, We are in the process of examining our current main application. We have to do some major changes and, in the process, are questionning/validating the use of MS Access as front-end. The application is relatively big: around 200 tables, 200 forms and sub-forms, 150 queries and 150 repports, 5GB of data (SQL Server 2000), 40 users. I'm wondering what are the disadvantages of using Access as front-end? Other that it's not...

Is there anything I can do about the apparent limit on the number of textboxes that have calculations as their control source on a form or report in ms-access? I have a query that pulls together all the fields from two tables, each with about 20 fields. I then have a statistics form that has the query as its source and the form has 273 textboxes on, each with a calculation based on the underlying query values. The form looks like a...

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.
