On this particular database previously mentioned I have to enter data manually 
into the imported database. What is the best way to go about this.

Short Example:

Imported database looks something like this

Name     Qty     Price
abcde      5      2.50
bnmhj      2      5.60
xyzse      4      1.00
rtus         4      2.00

Calculating total cost in a query I would multiple Qty*Price

But because I am trying to do this in Access, bnmhj should be qty 4, not 2. 
This is because the main part has a quantity of 2, bnmhj is a sub-part. Thus if 
you use 2 of the main part you are actually using 4 of bnmhj.  This main part 
is not on the same line, it is above bnmhj so I cannot use an iff.  I want to 
put a separate column in the imported database with 2 in it, so the query would 
be 2*2*5.60.

bnmhj is one of many parts like this and also with different quantities. 

If I used Excel I would run out of rows and resources.

Any comments if I am going about this correctly.

Whenever I use the trim, mid, etc, in a query I get an undefined 
function. At work these worked for this database and now at home I get the 
undefined message.

I created a new query using trim, mid and I get the same message.

What is happening?
