The general rule for posting an issue is "one per thread". If you
haven't visited
www.mvps.org/access I suggest that you do for all of
the terrific Access lore there and also "net etiquette". Pay close
attention to the bit about including details.
All of the below is air code so you may have to twiddle and tweak to
get a satisfactory result.
To answer the question in your subject line:
in your report design, put a new text control on the line with the
existing text control that receives the Pass or Fail result. Make the
default value of that new text control something like
IIF(Me!txtPassFail = "Fail", 1,0)
make that text control invisible if you don't want to see it.
Sum the count of that text control in the part of your report where
you report the totals.
----------------------------------------
For your bonus question - there are lots of ways to generate a list of
failed serial numbers. Here's one:
Create a static function named something creative like
ListFailNos(SerialIn as string) as string
ListFailNos = ListFailNos & SerialIN & vbcrlf
end function
You could create a new field in your query and call the above function
on each failure. Something like
ItFailed: =ListFailNos(Serial Number)
Create a text control in the summary section of your report where
you'd like to see the list of failing serial numbers. Bind that
control to ItFailed.
