Expression will not calculate off of an auto-populating price column

9 New Member
My database is simple. It has a table that tracks customers, with they're name, address, etc.

I have a price list table that contains "iteminstal l" , "price", and "qty"

and I have a payment table that trackes date, and payment amount.


I have a subform, with the field (textbox) "price." I have it auto populate when I type in something under (combobox) "iteminstal l". This is a recent addition. I used to have to type it manually.

In the subform, "iteminstal l" is a combo box, and price is a text box.
In the footer of the subform, I have the expression:
=Sum([price]*[qty]).
On the main form I have a text box that links to this field, to display a subtotal. Now the price is autopopulating in the subform, but it is not changing my subtotal. This only started happening when I set "price" to autopopulate. The existing subtotal is still there, but If I add anything to the order, it won't update the subtotal. Instead, it continues to display the old subtotal.

I added a new record, and tried entering some new data, but subtotal is outputing "0" on all new records. Any Ideas?

Try updating the subtotal on the main form in iteminstall combobox's after update event, using the code shown below. Since the iteminstall combobox is on the subform, the following code should be placed with the subform code.

Private Sub itemInstall_Aft erUpdate()

Me.Parent.Subto tal.Recalc

End Sub


You need to replace the names I used for your combobox and subtotal control with the actual names if the actual names are different.

OK, I TRIED THIS, AND GOT THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE:

RUN-TIME ERROR '438'
OBJECT DOESN'T SUPPORT THIS PROPERTY OR METHOD.

WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?

Ok, try changing this: Me.Parent.Subto tal.Recalc

To This: Parent.Subtotal .Recalc

If that does not work, post back with the code exactly as you have it.

Hello, The following is perhaps not directly a CSS problem, but it does seem to involve Internet Explorer's stylesheet handling. I tried Svend Tofte's solution for using expressions in stylesheets to create a max-width effect. Very useful, but it does not work without problems in IE 5.0 for Windows (or at all in IE 5.1 for Mac, but that may have other causes).

How, using javascript, can you set or change a CSS value from something to something else which has the IE proprietary format: expression(javasriptCode)? I'd like to know the answer in general, but the specific issue motivating this is that I have an image in a TD which I am able to nicely align left/right/center/top bottom/middle and set (stretch) to various sizes.

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 query has three number columns from the table (tblItems) of which I have an expression...

Got earlier very valuable feedback from this group, so I am trying again. Given a string with an arithmetic expression containing variables, e.g. "a+b*sin(x)", how can I calculate its value within my program for given variable values? (Think of the string as a user input.) Is there an easier way than writing an interpreter myself? Mathematical notation is preferred, but C# syntax ("Sin" instead of "sin") would be acceptable too.
