Hi all,
I have a form with a couple of simple fees. One of these is a 'basic fee' which applies to all records. I have put a default value in this field for any new records created (let's for example say it was $1). Then there's an 'Additional Fee' for example, where the user would have to update an applicable amount if necessary (let's say $0.50). Finally I have a simple 'Total Fee', which adds the basic fee with the additional fee (if there is one).
What I have found is that when I select a new record, the 'Total Fee' doesn't show anything (or the $1 in this example). If I was to add a value to the additional fee, only then does the Total field autocalculate correctly.
What I would like is that the basic fee amount be displayed in the Total Fee field each time a new record is created as some items won't attract the additional fee.
I know I could put a default value in the Total field I guess, but was wondering if there was some sort of Requery action when a new record was created that would automatically recalc the "Total' field?
Would someone be able to advise me please?
Thank you.
