How do I apply interest on savings?

Hi there,

Am working on a project of computing interest on deposits and then applying it at end of quarter. How best can I go about this? Am not very good at VBA so I'll be glad to have something specific and possibly an example.

Thx already.

Welcome to Bytes, Stephen. The first lesson everybody here at Bytes has to learn is that good questions usually get good answers quickly and fuzzy, unclear questions may not be answered at all. Your question is pretty fuzzy.

Should we assume you know the equations for computing interest? You don't say if you are computing simple interest or compound interest. You say "compute interest" and "and then apply at end of quarter" as if they will be two different steps.

We don't know if you'll be doing this on a form, one account at a time or in a query across the whole number of accounts you have.

The best thing I can tell you, if you want to stop being not very good at VBA, is to spend some time with the sample database that came with your copy of Access. Try to set up a form to calculate interest on one account at a time; then write a query to calculate for everybody at once. The sample database is very good for helping a novice learn a little and we, here at Bytes, can help you get past the things that don't seem clear.

When you come back with a clear, concise question be sure to tell us what version of Access you're using.

SL: Welcome to the group.
I've pm'd you a short boiler-plate with some helpful links and information for first time Access users; thus, please check your bytes.com inbox.

Once you work thru that information, write your query and post it back, properly formatted with the [CODE/] button please, and we'll help you from there.

Thanks people.

After a long battle I've managed to find a way by putting a formula in the query and then at the end of the quarter run an append query that includes the interest as separate transactions with a narration called Interest.

Thx again.
