zaiena,
the way it usually works is:
1. you have a total for the subform details in the <<footer>>> section of the subform, which should have this expression: = Sum([Price])

2. the main form total gets a copy of the subform total by means of the following expression in the main form textbox for the total:
Me!total_price. Value = Me!YourSubformC ontrol.Form!You rSubformTotalNa me

3. To refresh the main form total any time the subform total changes, place the following code behind the subform (not main form):
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Private Sub YourSubformTotal_Change()
  2. Me.Parent!total_price.Recalc
  3. End Sub
  4.  
You need to replace any generic names I used above with the actual names of those objects in yor application. Let me know how it goes.

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 have tried both methods of using DSum and creating a Function to address summing some number columns, but to no avail. Since this has been a popular topic over the years, I'm sure I'll receive some guidance. This is related to Access 97 and involves my redoing a miscellaneous purchase and sales form. A main form (frmMain) is used that contains summary information of the item. I incorporated two continuous subforms (sfrmPurchases) and...

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...

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,...

Good morning all: In what seems like an ongoing saga to make the DSum function do what I need it to, I am now having trouble with a user-defined function in my VBA module.

Hi, I'm trying to use a variable "FirstSemi" as the second criteria in a DSum function. The DSum function is used in the same Form_Load function that the variable was declared.

I've been trying to get the DSum function to work but I've been running into some roadblocks. What I'm trying to do is to total up times in a timesheet report into different departments. The report is based on a query that gathers all an employee's info. In that query, I have a calculated field which gives an employee's total time on a process. (DateDiff("n",,))/60 This gives the total time in hourly fractions. Now what I'm trying to do...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
