Calculate from previous record

[skwilliams]

I have a form containing customer information and a subform contains
the fields: Date, TransactionNo, Charge, Payment, Balance. The
subform was created as tabular. I would like to calculate each new
balance as the previous balance + charge - payment which would be set
up like a statement with a running total balance.

Any ideas on how to accomplish this??

Thanks.

Function RunSum(F As Form, KeyName As String, KeyValue, _
FieldToSum As String)
'***********************************************************

' FUNCTION: RunSum()
' PURPOSE: Compute a running sum on a form.
' PARAMETERS:
' F - The form containing the previous value to
' retrieve.
' KeyName - The name of the form's unique key field.
' KeyValue - The current record's key value.
' FieldToSum - The name of the field in the previous
' record containing the value to retrieve.
' RETURNS: A running sum of the field FieldToSum.

' EXAMPLE: =RunSum(Form,"ID",[ID],"Amount")
'***********************************************************
Dim rs As Recordset
Dim result

On Error GoTo Err_RunSum

' Get the form Recordset.
Set rs = F.RecordsetClone

' Find the current record.
Select Case rs.Fields(KeyName).Type
' Find using numeric data type key value?
Case DB_INTEGER, DB_LONG, DB_CURRENCY, _
DB_SINGLE, DB_DOUBLE, DB_BYTE

rs.FindFirst "[" & KeyName & "] = " & KeyValue
' Find using date data type key value?
Case DB_DATE
rs.FindFirst "[" & KeyName & "] = #" & KeyValue & "#"
' Find using text data type key value?
Case DB_TEXT
rs.FindFirst "[" & KeyName & "] = '" & KeyValue & "'"
Case Else
MsgBox "ERROR: Invalid key field data type!"
GoTo Bye_RunSum
End Select

' Compute the running sum.
Do Until rs.BOF
result = result + rs(FieldToSum)

' Move to the previous record.
rs.MovePrevious
Loop

Bye_RunSum:
RunSum = result
Exit Function

Err_RunSum:
Resume Bye_RunSum
