Is there a web site that can ofer some help. The quotation marks are posing
an issue as well as other items for this function. I have some books but
they are not consistent in their use of the code lingo. Thank you for any
help. Presently I have tables and forms to gather employee info. I use the
subform to gather status of absence, text field. What I want to do is
calculate the vacation hours and subtract them from the total alocation of
vacation alloted per year. I presently have my subform set up to input the
staus condition, hours off and then to segregate the vacation hpurs I added
a second field of hours of vacation to Sum the Vacation hours separate from
the other hours of absence that are not related to vacation. I can set up a
query with a parameter to extract the vacation hours only which is simple
enough but how can I erase the second hours column and replace it with DSum
function to tidy up the subform so data entry personnel only see one hours
filed on the form. Presently the form runs off tables. Should I rebuild the
form and run it off a query with the vacation parameter built in to the
field.
All help is welcome.
