Hi I think I maybe didnt explain myself properly, I have an invoice form which has as you suggest, a main form showing invoice details such as supplier, date, status etc and then a subform which links the invoice items, qty and item cost. This is easily totalled with text boxes as you...

Hi Pat and Gemma, I have just come back and read your comments and will rethink my methods. I cant do a calculated sum on the invoice form because due to the one to many items in each invoice. I have a purchase order main table and then a purchase order items table. To get the totals I query...

Josef your way works better, as you say. searching 'A' returns another syntax error, but your line doesnt. Thanks

Hi Perfect, is working great now Thanks a lot

Hi All I am trying to do a search button on a continuous form to search for records that contain some of what is entered in the textbox. Private Sub SearchBTN_Click() Dim strSQL As String strSQL = "[TransDesc] = " & "Like '*" & Me.SearchBox & "*'" Me.Filter = strSQL Me.FilterOn = True...

That was my view. I initially wondered if I was missing something when the Reddit group suggested it

Hi Yes, that was always my logic.

Hi All Some may know, I am building my stock inventory database and learning as I go. I always believed, or read somewhere that good design is not to hold unnecessary data and to let access calculate data as required. With this in mind, I haven't got a current stock field in my products...

Thank you, will have a go with the button

Im not sure. The recordset for this subform comes from the totals query (Which just gives me totals) and then the purchases table which contains the order date, delivery date, fields etc. Maybe I have designed the totals query wrong. I just have 3 fields in the totals query, purchaseorderID, sum...

Hi All I have an unpaid invoice screen as shown below My idea was that once approved, the user can tick the yes/no box and then a payment pop up form will open up and list all the ticked invoices to then be paid by the one payment record, a one to many, one payment can pay many purchases...

Thank you Doc Man, I have printed that for future reference. I rebuilt new tables and rebuilt the form with the new tables and new queries and it now seems to work. Thanks All
