I am working on my final Access project and I need help...
Anyone? I am stuck on creating a calculated field.... I have a link to the question if anyone can help.
Desperation has set in.

You know how we do

Page 3, question 9.
I know they want totals of all the investments listed by name (instead of one by one by name), but I can't seem to get there.
The "total investment" field that they're speaking of is just one entry on a particular date. For instance, someone may have an investment today and again in another week. Does that make sense?
You know how we do
So, it looks like they want a summary query where you group on the name (so it would only show one entry for "John Smith") and then you sum on the InvestmentAmt field to get his total investment. Try this SQL:
SELECT tblMember.FirstName, tblMember.LastName, Sum(tblContribution.InvestmentAmt) AS [Total Investment]
FROM tblContribution INNER JOIN tblMember ON tblContribution.MemberID = tblMember.MemberID
GROUP BY tblMember.FirstName, tblMember.LastName
ORDER BY Sum(tblContribution.InvestmentAmt) DESC;
If you are in query design, you can select SQL View (it's on the top left for me - next to Run) and paste the above in. Then you can go back to design view and see it that way.
Let me know if that works and if you need help with part 2 of the question.
ok...I got that part, and I got the last...
Can I keep you on standby, lol?

I'm happy to try to help....
Sibil - she didn't need SQL, but it is an easy way for me to pass the query that I used along. She just needed a simple summary query (I think the crosstab query was one of the next questions - those aren't my favorite!)
