After Insert Trigger (1 Viewer)

[zezo2021]

Hello
after the record is inserted into DB, I want the current field value divided/ 100

Current Record Only
Not all records

 

[The_Doc_Man]

In which context? Form? Query? VBA Code? Something else?

What will you do with that calculation?

There is a sample db here:

Friends How can SetField Value after insert I want after insert row Myfield Value for this row divide / 100 You can see the field setting on Table Macro If you could fix DataMacro Thank you so much

I locked that thread since it's a duplicate.

You posted this in the SQL Server section. So here's a site to help you within that context:

Learn about SQL Server triggers, their use and how to create a simple trigger to track data changes in a table.

However, you have another thread:

Which asks virtually the same question but within the context of an Access form. So which is it?

if possible the 2 solution one work with
frontend Access
backedn SQL SERVER

If you are asking for the same solution to work on both Access and SQL Server than you have to implement this in the front end - because back-end triggers between Access and SQL Server are quite different. So I repeat my question: In which context? Form, report, query, VBA code, or some other method of data interaction? Don't say "back-end" and "work in Access or SQL" because of the potential differences in the back-ends.

Better still, tell us the actual requirement in concept rather than telling us to divide by something. What are you doing?

This smells like a percent problem. Users are entering 70 but you want .7. If so, this can be solved via an input mask.

If not, why must you change what they enter? Why not just store their value and then do the math in a query or report when you need to use or display that value?

Yes.
Percent Issue
How can I solve this problem

 

[plog]

I might have been wrong about an input mask. It's fixed via setting a property on the table:

Input Mask or Formatting??

Hi All! I am having an issue with the display of the tax amount on my sales report. The text box for the taxes is based on the Percentage of tax on the form. so for example: GST on the form will show "5.00%" When I go to the report the GST shows: "00.05" ... this is when the format is set to...

Hello
work with Access Table Backend and front end access

-----------
my issue

frontend access and backend SQL server

You store the correct value in the first place.

Format the control on the form to be Percent.
The end-user enters 7% it is stored as .07

No need for any triggers or anything else clever.

hi @zezo2021

best is control all user input with forms ... but if you do want something at the table level, it could be in BeforeChange -- something like this:

@strive4peace - The OP has a SQL backend - you'd have to set up a trigger on SQL Server.

@zezo2021
You really should try to post questions that are able to be answered, rather than just 1/100th of a complete thought and then waiting until everyone wrestles you to the ground and pries the rest of it out of you - that's laziness in the programming world.

What do you want to do? Where does the calculation go? Do you mean changing the value that was just inserted? Do you mean inserting a new record somewhere else? Do you mean displaying it on screen? Do you just need a calculated value in another column?

See, now I had to type a bunch of stuff that you should have explained originally, and so did 10 other people. Don't do that.

Great Solution

Worked with me

you're welcome, zezo2021 ~ happy to help

 

[NauticalGent]

For S&G I tried to create a Table Macro/Trigger on a linked SP list...no joy.

 

[strive4peace]

adding on, @zezo2021 ... in case field has no value, you may want to wrap with COALESCE to avoid errors if it's Null

if Coalesce( [myfield],0 ) >1 then
