I've looked, and not found much. I have a text field in a form named [myLocation], which acquires its data through a control source of =getLocation()
the getLocation() function returns a DLookup, which changes based on some other field of that record.
Now, I would like the form footer to count the two different locations that may occur. So, naturally I tried:
=Count(IIf([myLocation]="Home",0))
This not only returns #Error on that field, but every other (otherwise working) counting field in the footer. Same thing happens even if I just count([myLocation]). Clearly there's something that I wasn't told. I half-expect a group of my techie friends to pop out of somewhere laughing at me cuz they purposely removed a page from my reference book or something. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Oh and a secondary issue: is there some easy way to count unique field values in a filtered form whose filtered criteria is constantly being changed from the form? (I expect the answer is "no, there is no easy way" - that's fine, just need to know).
All help is always apreciated.

Your question isn't really clear. Are there more than one fields that you're counting?
You can try using your form's On_Current event to put a value in your count field
If me.MyTextbox = 'somevalue' Then me.MyFooterText box = 1
also, wouldn't your syntax be a bit different with the IIF function anyway?
=IIf([mytextbox]="Home",1,0)
But again, if you have a single view form, wouldn't your count always be 1 or 0?
My appologies for the lack of clarity. I'm using a continuous form, with multiple records being displayed at any given time. Furthermore, the records displayed do not change with a query, but by the Me.Filter and vba. The user will be readily changing the filter, and displaying different items frequently. As such, i was hoping for a running tally of certain records. Specifically, a sum or count of a field, whose value is generated from a vba function.
Help? =(

since this is already VBA, and you apply a filter using some mechanism, why don't you continue to use VBA and capture the filter being applied, and use that as a criteria agains the recordset in a dcount to populate your count field.

Hello,
I am trying to build a Crystal report VisualStudio.NET for an ASP.NET
application. I would like to build a report that doesn't connect to
any particular database at design time because I am planning to pass a
dataset to the report at runtime. From what I have read, it sounds
like unbound fields might be the answer. However, I am having trouble
figuring out how to bind these unbound fields to my dataset at
runtime.

Access 97 - I have a form with a single unbound text field. I want to have a

noticed that if the focus stays on the field then then the text doesn't get

So does anyone know how to grab the contents of an "uncommitted" field
without moving the focus?
By the way, I tried moving the focus away,...

I've converted a bound Access 2000 form which displays data retrieved from

I'm assuming it's because the form isn't bound anymore. I didn't even have
that field's data type as hpyerlink - just test. I did have the form
control's "hyperlink" property set to true and it worked fine in bound mode.
The fields stores paths to pdf files. How can I make the...

Hi,
Im wondering if anyone can help me with a problem.
I have a form with more than 50 unbound fields.
Some of the fields will be blank from time to time.
This seems to be where im having trouble.
I have tried keeping some of the fields bound and when I use the save button
it has been saving as 2 different records. This is unacceptable.
This is what I have, can anyone help me out with this?

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

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,...
