Hi - I have an unbound text box on a form that calculates a value from a bound text box on the same form. Right now the equation I'm using is - =Val(NZ([bxpounds]))*0.20
but I would like to have it so if the value that is entered into the bound text box is less than or equal to 100, then that value is put into the unbound text box and if the value is greater than 100 use the equation I already have. I dont have much experience with this type of thing. Any help would be great.
Thanks Sally

Sounds like you need an AfterUpdate on the bxpounds field, something like -
Private Sub bxpounds_AfterUpdate
-
If me.bxpounds <= 100 then
-
me.[Unbound_textBox].value = me.bxpounds * 0.20
-
me.[Unbound_textBox].requery
-
Else
-
'Execute Your Equation Here
-
End If
-
End Sub
-
-AJ
Thank you that worked perfectly
How does that work for you, Sally? Your original post stated
"if the value is greater than 100 use the equation"
If this is your requirement, the code posted won't work! It uses the equation if the bound control is equal to or less than 100, not greater than 100! If your stated needs are correct, then you need -
Private Sub bxpounds_AfterUpdate
-
If Me.bxpounds > 100 then
-
Me.[Unbound_textBox].value = Me.bxpounds * 0.20
-
Else
-
Me.[Unbound_textBox].value = Me.bxpounds
-
End If
-
End Sub
-
And there's no need to requery the textbox after assigning the value.

Yes I noticed that mistake and made the correction when I typed the code. Thanks for the advice. Does it matter if I leave in the requery code?
The requery isn't going to hurt anything, you're just using unnecessary processing time, but with today's powerful processors that's really kind of a moot point.

In regards to the code I provided, I guess I misunderstood the question, I thought the equation included in the question was different than the.. @sillyr
I thought there was another equation you didn't post. Glad you caught it. Sorry about that.
In regards to the requery, I tend to leave it in my code, because sometimes the field doesn't refresh immediately and people won't see the value. And when that happens a quick response is posted saying "I can't see the data!", so this just helps to have. It's a hit and miss, so you never know when it will happen.

@ajalwaysus
First off, if you're assigning a value to a textbox in the current record, and it doesn't appear immediately, you've got something seriously wrong!
Secondly, there is nothing to requery in an unbound textbox! The data in this textbox is not part of any recordset, which a requery is always run against! Requeries against controls on a form are really only valid for Listboxes and Comboboxes, which can have their own recordsets.

How about simply using : - =Val(Nz([bxpounds],0))*IIf(Val(Nz([bxpounds],0))>100,0.20,1)

long integer) for the items listed on the form and a description (unbound
column, visible, string.) I can "Sort Ascending" and "Sort Descending" on

I have a table with two bound date/time fields.
I want to be able to use an IF statement and DateDiff to return a text

something like this;

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

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...
