This seems like it should be so easy to do. I have a table, called tblTopics. Each topic can have one or more instances, contained in a table called tblTopicInst. tblTopics is bound to a form called frmTopics and tblTopicInst is bound to a form called frmTopicInst. From frmTopics, you access frmTopicInst via a button. I have also created a query, qryCountInst, that counts the number of instances for the topic currently displayed on frmTopics. I want to add a text box, txtCountInst, to frmTopics to display the number of instances for the topic--i.e., the results of qryCountInst. I also want to add a button to refresh this count. After searching all the Access documentation I have, I can't find any info on how to display the results of a COUNT query in a text box. The expression that Access "helps" me build--[qryCountInst]![total_record]--doesn't work either. How can I accomplish this simple thing? Thanks for your help!

FYI, I kept looking and finally was able to get it working using DCount. Still no way to auto-refresh, but that's not really critical. I can add a button or something if it proves to be a need.
Specifically, I created the text box and added this as the Control Source:
=DCount("top_id ", "tblTopicIn st", "top_id = Forms!frmTopics !top_id")
Hi. DCount is a good solution for what you need to do. There are several ways to refresh the value calculated. One such is to use the On Current event of the form itself, which fires once for each record you move to.
In your form properties right-click on On Current and select build. A skeleton of the event sub is created for you. Just add - Me![name_of_your_control].Requery
where name_of_your_co ntrol is replaced by the actual name of your textbox with the DCount control source.
This will requery the DCount for each record of the form without your users having to press any 'refresh' buttons to do so.
-Stewart
Actually, using the OnCurrent event doesn't work because you never leave the form on which the count is displayed. You add the new record on a separate form, so perhaps there would be a way to trigger a requery when the other form closes. I'll look into that, but it's not a showstopper. I appreciate your suggestion, though--thanks very much.

Hi,
I am currently writing PHP code for some polling software. When someone
votes, it stores their IP address in the database. From then on, they
cannot vote in that particular poll, they only view the results. There
are several polls in the database, and there is a field called
"status". When it is 0, the poll is "active" and can be voted upon.
When it is 1, it is archived and one can only view the results.
But, there seems to be...

Hi,
Is the datalist meant for one table or can I use it to display information
from 2 different tables? Or should I be looking at a datagrid instead?
I began my code and kinda ran into a snag where my last two columns I am
displaying are ID fields, one for clientid and the other for empid.
What I would really like is to display their actual names instead of the
ids.

Hi!
I have two questions: one question that regards the COUNT-function, and one about how to display a month even if I don’t have any data for that month.
I have an Access database where I want to create a query to count all the internal units in my list (the “input”-table), between two dates. I want my list to be grouped by year and month. Here is the SQL-code, as called from VBA:

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.
