This is simple in excel....not in access....

[MattNZ]

I am working in access on a program which requires me to multiply all the values in a field by each other. This is easy to replicate in excel, but I can't figure out how to do this in access.

Here is how I would do it in excel to show u what I mean using columns A and B, the equation is simply B2=A2, then B3=B2*A3, B4=B3*A4, and copying this sequence down the column. It's really simple, but what do i do in Access to achieve the same result?

A B

1.01 1.01
1.0109 1.021009

Hi my frien,

For me the best is to declare a global variable in VB module! So You will save the last value of B in this variable and you can use it on the next record... :)

Also You need to do a function to set this variable and to read it from your query!

NB! When you do your query append the results in a table, because the values of the query will be recalculated and the result won't be good!

But when tha data is introduced in a table, it's calculated and there is no problem! :)

Have a nice luck!

:)
