Need a little help with syntax

Hi Guys,

Having a little problem with some code. I'm wondering if anyone with a keen
eye can point out my error.

Private Sub Transaction_Type_AfterUpdate()
If Me.NewRecord Then
Me.invID = Nz(DMax("[OrderID]", "Orders", "[Transaction Type] = 2"), 0) +
1
End If
End Sub

I want the text field invID to update once a transaction type is selected.

The field updates but not the way I need it too. I want it to show the
highest number with a transaction type of 2(outgoing) and then add 1 to it to
create a sequence for outgoing orders. It's updating, but it's just showing
me the highest number of ALL invoices regardless of transaction type.

Thanks in advance

Your code appears to be syntactically correct, assuming that [Transaction
Type] field is numeric data type.

Thanks,

I think it's the right data type because the following code works perfectly
on it's own textbox

=DCount("[OrderID]","Orders","[Transaction Type]=2")

Then I would suggest that something in your logic is not what you are trying
to achieve.

What result do you get with this?
DMax("[OrderID]", "Orders", "[Transaction Type] = 2")

And what result do you see as the top record for this query?
SELECT * FROM Orders
ORDER BY OrderID DESC;

I'm trying to find out the highest number (ID) that is an Outgoing Order (2)

We cannot see the data in your tables. We've told you that the logic for
your expression is correct. Therefore, I must assume that your data are not
what you think they are. We are asking for your help in telling us specific
details about your data so that we can help you debug your problem.

Then I would suggest that something in your logic is not what you are trying
to achieve.

What result do you get with this?
DMax("[OrderID]", "Orders", "[Transaction Type] = 2")

And what result do you see as the top record for this query?
SELECT * FROM Orders
ORDER BY OrderID DESC;

And what result do you see as the top record for this query?
SELECT * FROM Orders
WHERE [Transaction Type] = 2
ORDER BY OrderID DESC;

Plisvb -

Is OrderID a numeric field, and is this the max field you want, or is InvID
the field you really want?
