AskWoody LoungerHmmm…I ALMOST have it, but I’m not quite there.
The query I’ve created works as the Record Source for the subForm, but it is not updatable. The form reflects the query correctly, including the Option Group, but I can’t click on another option.
I must be missing something…
Also, my main form is not bound. What differences will that make?

WSAbraxus
AskWoody LoungerThanks Hans!
I had tried code in the Change event, but t was the .text that made the difference.
I was under the impression that .text was the default and it would work. Thanks for showing me the way!

WSAbraxus
AskWoody LoungerHans, thanks for the code.
It worked for me, but only AFTER I removed this piece:
‘If rst.Fields(i).Attributes And dbAutoIncrField = 0 ThenWith that check, it always skipped the
rst.Fields(i).Value = arrValues(i)
so I ended up with an empty record. -
WSAbraxus
AskWoody LoungerThank you!
I had to change the Total Due to =[txtsubtotal]+[txttax]-[txttotaldiscount]
It was not excluding the tax otherwise.
Thanks so much for the help!
-
WSAbraxus
AskWoody LoungerOk, I made the text box for the tax for each record use this:
=IIf([Taxable]=True,[txtTaxRate]*[Quantity]*([Price]-([Price]*[Discount]/100)),0)and I made the footer tax box this:
=Sum(IIf([Taxable]=True,[txtTaxRate]*[Quantity]*([Price]-([Price]*[Discount]/100)),0))I still get #ERROR
I’m attaching the database so you can see what I am doing. If you test it out, you can use 1 as the ISBN and it will pull the price for you.

AskWoody LoungerThose formulas worked great, thanks.
One thing that I need to include, however, is that each line may or may not be taxable. If I uncheck the Taxable checkbox, tax should not be calculated for that item.
I added a text box for each record that calculates the tax for the item =IIf([chkTaxable]=True,[txtTaxRate]*[Quantity]*([Price]-([Price]*[Discount]/100)),0) and I hoped to have G be the sum of that text box, but all I get is #ERROR in all the Order Total boxes.
Is there a way to make each item toggle the tax-ability?

AskWoody LoungerHmmm…
When I do this I get:
“You already have a Microsoft Exchange Server account set up. Outlook only supports on Exchange Server at a time.”
-
WSAbraxus
AskWoody LoungerI actually found the problem.
The source for txtExtended should have been:
=[Quantity]*([Price]-([Price]*[Discount]/100))I needed to reference the fields, not the text box names.
-
WSAbraxus
AskWoody LoungerSteveH’s suggestion did not work for me.
I ended up writing some code to fill in the fields on the bottom of the form.
Also, it is not a sub form, just a regular form.
-
WSAbraxus
AskWoody LoungerThe formula for txtExtended is:
=[txtQuantity]*([txtPrice]-([txtPrice]*[txtDiscount]/100))When I put a text box in the footer, I made the formula:
=Sum([txtQuantity]*([txtPrice]-([txtPrice]*[txtDiscount]/100)))Unfortunately, it shows me #Error

AskWoody LoungerOption 1 worked perfectly, thanks!

AskWoody LoungerWorked perfectly, thank you!!

AskWoody LoungerWorked well, thank you!

WSAbraxus
AskWoody LoungerHmmm…it was moved from the Access forum.
I will be selecting the tab FROM Access, not from Excel.
Not sure if it makes much difference…
-
WSAbraxus
AskWoody LoungerNo, but it works great if this line
curToReturn = curToReturn + .Activecall.Value
reads
curToReturn = curToReturn + .ActiveCell.Value
like is was supposed to.
Activecall != ActiveCell.
Crazy typos!
