MS Access - Executing a statement

1
Hi,

I have a large calculation along the lines

Forms!A_Main!price + Forms!A_Main!Oprtions etc etc
that I would like as a variable so I only have to execute the variable when I need it, with out having to retype it. This cacluation is used on both forms and reports.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I would probably try creating a function in a code module to return the value from the calculation. This could then be used on forms, reports and also in a query.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Public Function fMyFormCalc() As Long
  2.  
  3. fMyFormCalc = Forms!A_Main!price + Forms!A_Main!Oprtions
  4.  
  5. End Function
  6.  
If all the field are on the form Forms!A_Main, your could also add a text box that does the calculation, then reference the text box's value as needed. The control could also be hidden is you do not want the user to see it.
