Code Check Please

[Wayneyh]

Hi all

I am having trouble getting some code working. Would someone please check the following code and tell me why it doesn't work. If additional info is required please ask. Thanks.


Private Sub Cost_Change()
If Me.DateOfSale >= 30 / 11 / 2008 Then
Me.Vat15.Visibl e = True
Me.Total15.Visi ble = True
Me.Vat.Visible = False
Me.TotalCost.Vi sible = False
Else
If Me.DateOfSale <= 1 / 12 / 2008 Then
Me.Vat15.Visibl e = False
Me.Total15.Visi ble = False
Me.Vat.Visible = True
Me.TotalCost.Vi sible = True
End If
End If

End Sub

Hello, Wayneyh.

What you are trying to implement seems to me very complicated, not flexible and not robust approach.
Do you want to add a control to form and section to code each time VAT changes? Also, this approach will make you add conditions to queries totalling records and so on so on.

Why not to make a table, let us say tblVAT with the following structure:

keyVATID Autonumber(Long ), PK
dteStart Date/Time
dteEnd Date/Time
sglVAT Number/Single

Further you can join it with your table in the following manner:

SELECT [YourTable].Cost + [YourTable].Cost*(1+[tblVAT].[sglVAT]/100) AS CostAndVAT FROM [YourTable] INNER JOIN [tblVAT] ON [YourTable].dteSale<=[tblVAT].dteEnd AND [YourTable].dteSale>=[tblVAT].dteEnd;
