Hi everyone, I'm having an issue with getting my fields to update when i change records. I have a main form and a subform. The main form has "total", "deposit", and "due" text boxes. The subform has the items, and the item total(# of items*price).
I currently have an update query that calculates the Item total. And in the form I have an OnUpdate event that takes the (Total price for the order) - (any deposit) = to ammount due.
This all works great, accept for the fact if you go to a record with a different order number the total, deposit, and due fields remain the same as they were with the previous record.
From what I understand its not good to store calculated fields within tables so I'm trying to do this within the form.
How can I get the fields to update automatically when i change records?
Thanks,
Scotter

Ok, I figured out a way for everything to work. Insted of calculating the individual item cost of each item within the form, I changed it so the item cost was calculated within the query the form was based off of.
Then in the form I set the item cost field's control source to the ItemCost field in the query. Also in the footer of the form I set a textboxe's control source to
DSum("ItemCost" ,"QueryName" ,"[Order Number] = " & [Order Number])
So I could get the total cost. Then on my main form I changed my "Total" textbox's control source to the textbox in the footer of my subform.
The subform is in datasheet view so you don't see the header and footer, but this way I could still pull from it. Honestly I don't know if this is the best way to do it, but it works for me so I'm happy
Thanks again Rabbit

Let's say I have an html form with 20 or 30 fields in it. The form

1) simply UPDATING the values for all fields in the table, whether or
not any particular field has actually changed
2) running a second SELECT statement and comparing the $_POST vars to
the returned values, and only UPDATING those that have...

Hi,
I was curious, I am thinking of writing an application that loads a dataset
from a database that resides on a server. The question I have is this, if
multiple copies of the app will be running at once will there be problems
with data updates?
The reason I ask is I'm thinking like this:
User1 launches the app and the dataset is created from the data in the DB.

I am having problems trying to update a field in a database using a field in a form. I currently have two fields, Today and Tomorrow in a table named Date.

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.
