Code to gather information
I have the following in a query field. Expr1: +[LABOR]+[TRAVCOST]
I need to modify this formula so that if the service is warranty rather than charge, it would subtract the above plus other fields such as Airfare, auto, hotel, living expenses, ect. Thanks for any help you may provide. Fly Boy 5 |

It sounds like you are saying that your table has a field for each category
of cost. If so, that's a spreadsheet, not a relational database! Instead, consider a table like the following (untested): tblCost CostID Amount CostCategoryID (this points to another table that lists cost categories like "labor" and "travel" and ...) CostDate Good luck! Regards Jeff Boyce Microsoft Access MVP "Fly Boy 5" wrote in message ... I have the following in a query field.

Thanks Jeff,
It's a linked table in Access 2007 called service which contains all hrs, expenses and revenue. I list the type of service in one field which should control how the above is calculated. I'm trying to track revenue for each call but warranty should subtract and produce a negitive figure. Sorry for not explaining very well and thanks for your efforts.

In your query, put a formula similar to the following
Cost: IIF([ServiceType]="warranty",(Nz([Labor])+Nz([TravCost]))*-1,Nz([Labor])+Nz([TravCost])) "Fly Boy 5" wrote: I have the following in a query field.

I'm still having some trouble visualizing the data/structure.
You posted in the newsgroup dedicated to supporting table (structure) and db design ... would you please post a description of your table (see my previous response for an example)?
