What info in the table tells you bnmhj is a sub-part of abcde?  How do you
know how many of bnmhj go into a abcde?

Subject: [ms_access] Trim, mid, etc now working - thanks for the help ;
Another question



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?
