Good Morning from the UK.
I am a newcomer to access sorry if this is a simplistic question.
I guess this is part a Query question part a report question, apologies if
it's in the wrong group.
The Inland Revenue like me to keep track of the business use of my van.
I have a table into which I record only my business trips.
It has the following fields
Date, Start Miles, End Miles
I don't use my van every day .
I might have entries for
25th Jan
3rd Feb
4th Feb
etc to
25th Feb
I can run a parameter query to select all records between say 1st Feb and
28th Feb.
However to perform the calculation I need I have to
take the endmiles value from the 25th Jan record.
Lets call it LE
How do I get this to happen so I can then use the value in a calculation in
a report?
I am working in UK date format dd/mm/yyyy.
Thanks to all who post on this group it's really useful.
