Hello Access gurus,
I am a self-taught Access “developer ” and have a ton to learn so please allow me to sound stupid. I am using 2003 on a XP platform.
I manage properties for an organization. At times it is necessary to pay an individual to stay in a house so that it isn’t vacant for an extended period of time. The organization pays the entire utility cost but deducts the individual’s usage cost.
In other words, they receive ‘Pay’-(‘bill1 + bill2 + bill3…’ - ‘basic cost1’ + ‘basic cost2’ + ‘basic cost3…’).
I have a subform where I input each of the monthly basic costs and bills. I sum the basic costs column and the bills column on the footer, and then on the form, I calculate Pay – (sum of bills – sum of basic cost) = remuneration. This is working fine.
My problem is with the ‘monthly payment request report’ I want to print. Since the values I want to print are calculated form values and only exist when the form is open for that particular record, I don’t know how to put them on the report. Is there a way to write those calculated values to a field in the record so that I can produce a report? I’m sure it can be done but need an example to go by. Or, if I am going about this totally wrong, I’m open to a better way.
Thanks in advance,
Ed

Generally this is done in the underlying query (that the form and reports can be built on). Without knowing the layout of your data better, I can add no more than that basic hint.
This is, however, an important point to remember generally when working with such objects. Arithmetic (especially complicated stuff) is better done in the underlying query where possible.
Welcome to Bytes!
I thought that might be your responce. I've tried to do it in the underling query but am having some problems. The tabel that I am query has bill cost and basic cost for all properties. In most cases there are several record for each property. When I use DSum it totals everything. I want a seperate total for properties a, b, c, etc. Each property has a unique id. How can I set a varable to work with the criterion part of the DSum function?

I still can't help (See comment in earlier post) unless you describe how your data is held, how you're querying it at the moment and what you want to achieve.
Bytes is a terrific resource. I have solved several problems already just by viewing other threads.
Thanks and congratulations for the site.
Ed
I do have a question though. I can add to this thread but I can't seem to create a new one. I read the problems with adding post entry, maybe my account needs to be reactivated. How do I do that? What am I doing wrong?

Hi all,
I am very new to MS Access so please bear with me! I have created a
simple calculated field in my data entry form, yet when I view my data
table or try to generate a report based on this calculated field, no
value is posted. How/where do I get my calculated values to also show
up in the tables and reports?
Thanks,

I understand that access can not sum a calculated field but am having
trouble figuring out the work around.
I have a report that averages the cost of each part number. Each part
number will have multiple unit costs that i need to get an avg, min

the report.

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