Hi David, Thanks for your reply. I have to produce a database for a jewellery shop. Stock in, stock sold and stock carried forward on to the next month. The only thing I havent worked is how to carry the [stock remaining] figure forward into the [stock in] field of the next month. Do I use...

Ive been wasting so much time, now I only have the five different fields, and have created two one to many relationship to porduct id and order id. Thanks for your help. However Im still struggling to carry forward data. Is it a pain for the user to look at previous stock take and transfer...

Thanx very much, it helped a great deal

So do I need 25 tables, and create a relationship, from main to the other 25. I cant see this as being right. e.g main, stock id to table 1, stock id. I just keep having to copy and paste tables and queries all the time, and renaming them, differently.

Whenever I use access I always find myself, putting together hundreds of wueries or fields, does anyone know why this is. the latest a stock control database, where a shop has 25 different types of stock, means I have built a form to allow for the 200 fields to go in it. e.g stock in 1 stock...

Im only a novice, is there any way in which you, only see the result of the latest query instead of it giving you all the records, thanks for your help

SELECT [Table1 Query].[STOCK VALUE], Max([NUMBER]) AS MaxDate FROM [Table1 Query]; WHERE Group By [STOCK VALUE] What I want is the most recent STOCK VALUE, from the last record, to be showed. But this doesnt seem to have worked. Can anyone help me

I cant get it to work, each new record must look up the value in the last. so waht should the end strinc read

=DLookup("[StockPrice]","StockTable", "[StockID] This is what I have, I want it to look up the stock price from the previous record and place it in stock id in new record. Is this right.

Not tables, just records

Ive looked and cant find anything relevant. All I need is a dlook up function, that looks up the result of a calculation in the last record. Can this be done

Ive created a stock take database and want one field in a new record to be updated, when the previous one is filled in. For example, when the stock quantity is known, I want the amount in stock to be added to the next months stock form. Does anyone know how to do it.

How do you get calculations in reports to add up even if there isnt a value in the field.
