This seems to work: 2*(Round ({#SD},2)) Despite the fact that increasing the number of decimal places in the {#SD} field did not show evidence of this, there must be trailing digits that are being considered in the calculation. Thank you for your thoughts.

Sorry, not sure what you mean by rounding field. If you are referring to the number of decimals specified on the number tab for the field format, it is two, and on the same tab, 'Allow Field Clipping' is not selected (and field clipping is not what I am experiencing, and the same problem exists...

Using a simple formula with unexpected results: 2*{#SD} {#SD}= 0.01, so 2*0.01 should equal 0.02, but returning 0.03 (?) I am guessing this has to do with the calculation considering than the number of displayed decimal places, but even if I increase the field to show four decimal places, the...

Thank you to both, but I am still not getting the desired results. abcmstr, removing the Select Expert criteria returns all instruments in the bu_t table, and as soon as I add a criteria from the rslt_p_t, the two meters that do not appear in this table are excluded from the report. lbass, I...

I am building a simple report that uses a left outer join to link instrument table (bu_t) to result table (rslt_pat_t). I am not getting the expected results. I expect to get every instrument regardless of whether there are results assoicated with that instrument or not. I am only getting...

Perfect! Thanks to both of you.

This sounds exactly what I need, but I am not an advanced user and this function is new to me. I cannot find further explanation in Crystal Help. When I attempt to create the formula field using: stringvar x := split({Submitter_Rev_1.Address3}," "); if ubound(x) = 5 then x[1]+" "+x[2]+" "+...

I am trying to clean up a database where many components of address were entered into one field. The field contains CITY PROVINCE POSTAL CODE. The city may be any number of characters, the province is always 2 letters and the postal code 6. I was able to break out the province and postal code...

Thanks lameid but even removing the <> did not seem to work, I got a compile error. However, good news! My colleague read TheAceMan1 post and was able to tweak it and make it work for our application. Thanks again to everyone for suggestions and to TheAceMan1 for our solution! Option...

Thank you to all for your replies, but I have not been able to achieve anything except errors - did I mention I am a novice and not a programmer? [dazed] I want users to be able to use this form to add records that cannot be duplicated. From our users' point of view, after adding a record they...

Please note: I am NOT familiar with VBA so any replies please talk as much as possible in layman terminology. Thank you! [dazed] I have created a simple form to add data to a table. I have added two buttons, a "next" button and a "exit" button. When a user tries to enter a duplicate value in...

Same thing, I get the right click menu, but the field or text box does not highlight.

This is such a minor problem but so frustrating. I am working on a new workstation and on this workstation I cannot select a field or text object by simply clicking on it and highlighting it. The fields/text objects do not highlight and instead the cursor, as soon as you move it over the...

I have a simple report in which instrument serial numbers are listed if they meet a certain criteria. 501 numbers are listed from a much longer list. I then added a table which has results for these instruments linked by the serial number. I used a left outer join. It was my understanding...

I did successfully set up the query as you described. Prior to your last post I noticed my mistake with the MySource and had successfully created the Union All query with the 'patient' and 'control' text labels and was also able to successfully add a field that only occurred in the qc table. I...
