Help with total from subform to form and report

Try using this DSum formula in the total text box (Text6) on your Invoice Form:

=DSum("Price","Euipment Table","InvoiceID= " & [InvoiceID])

Flyster

In your report, add a text box and use this formula as the control source:

=Format(DSum("Price","Euipment Table","InvoiceID= " & [InvoiceID]),"$0,000.00")

that works. but it gives error on new record until put something in. Then it doesn't show total until you close form and reopen it.

Ok the code for auto update did not work did I do something wrong? I did change the Dsum To Sum. Here is my changes in file
Invoicenew-.zip

DSum will be too slow. It's much faster to recalculate from within the subform than waiting for the main form to discover that something has changed.

Sorry I have got it work right in subform show in the main form yet. I got it work in report no problem when I print. when I go to add new record it shows #error until some data is imputed the it is blank until I close form then reopen it. If I click my command button to print (lunching Invoice report) it shows total. But when I come back to form no total until I close form and reopen it.

If you use DSum, you will have to requery the field on the main form for any change of the amount in the subform. Sum may work but with a delay. Been there, done that. It is just to slow for busy users.

Here is a sample using a non VBA approach. For the Invoice Form, the totals are obtained from the text box you placed in the subform. For the report, another price textbox was added and set to running total over group (Visible=False)
Invoice-.mdb

I look at yours no sure where you are going with that, sorry. Look at mine now (in the form and other places) and see what it does when you add new record and before and after input of data and also click print command button. Go ahead and try all command buttons.
Invoice--new2.zip

Your form has been modified to work.

sorry forget that one try this one.

Thank you gustav ! once again you blow me away. so the code was
Private Sub Form_Current()

    Call Me.Euipment_Table_subform.Form.CalculateTotal
   
End Sub

was that the fix on the form?

I just copied and pasted the code i posted previously, and adjusted to the name of your amount-field (Price).

And then I added the call from the main form which I had forgot. It sets the value when switching invoice ID.

/gustav

was that on the subform?

how di you get it to go to the unbound?

sorry bad typing how did you get it on the unbound txt box on the form?

was this it on the subform

Private Sub Form_AfterDelConfirm(Status As Integer)

    Call CalculateTotal

End Sub

Private Sub Form_AfterUpdate()

    Call CalculateTotal

End Sub

Public Sub CalculateTotal()

    Dim rst As DAO.Recordset
    Dim LineSum As Currency

    LineSum = 0
    Set rst = Me.RecordsetClone
    If rst.RecordCount > 0 Then
        rst.MoveFirst
        Do Until rst.EOF
            LineSum = LineSum + Nz(rst!Price.Value, 0)
            rst.MoveNext
        Loop
    End If
    rst.Close

    Me.Parent!txtTotal.Value = LineSum

    Set rst = Nothing

End Sub

No, that's the code I added.
