Help with VB code

Hello!

I am using Access 2007. I had someone compile some VB code for a database I
was creating. However, some of the data recorded in the record doesn't get
saved when browsing through records. This is crucial for creating reports
around these figures.

The code (see below) has totals linked to a "unbound" text boxes. It also
has a button that must be clicked in order to calculate scores. I'd prefer
for the totals to appear automatically as other data is changed.

Ultimately, I would like the totals to remain in each record and get
calculated automatically (w/o having a button to be clicked).

I have a Monday deadline and would greatly appreciate help with this. Due to
some extreme reasons, I cannot get a hold of the original programmer. I could
also email you a sample and explain this better. My email is
mentalhealthnyc@yahoo.com

THANK YOU!

Hi,

Here are my comments, based on the file that you gave me.

1] The code here looks the unmodified while in the file, it has been modified, and the function has been delinked from the button.
2] The totals textbox is not unbound, it's bound to column "Total Score"
3] Will have to update the code to update this field automatically when any of the other responses change
4] The Maxscore that I mentioned is correct. I thought it differently, but after looking on the entry screen it got cleared.
5] The code has the field txtAverage which does not exist on the form and table.
6] Extra Info: The max possible value for each reponse is 4 but it is not forced, which means I can enter any value and it will accept.

- Nimesh.

 

Update:

- Removed the button to calculate
- used the same code, but it a little different way to calculate total score whenever other responses get changed
- txtAverage was mitakenly named as txtAvgerage. Fixed
- Updated all the 22 cboQ fields to accept only values between 0 and 4
- You mailed be the original file minus the records, so the size was 8mb.
You can use compact and repair option to reduce the filesize (which automatically grows everytime you open and/or modify the database.)
Now it's 660kb.

Mailing you the updated file.
Let me know If I can help you with any other thing.
