balance

Hi,

I created a db called tuition

The fields in tuiton are: Students Name, Beginning Balance, Payment amount, date of payment, next payment due, amount of next payment.

When I click on tuition db from mainmenu, and go to student name choose the student I want, and once chosen Beginning balance automatically enters the balance(previous month balance-payment amount) into the field.

Is this possible?

Sorry if this is not clear trying my best!

Thanks

Set Field

You can complete that with the script step set field.

Set field (balance) = Balance - last payment amount

Not the best way to keep track of this sort of thing, but it will work.

You really want to keep a charges database and a payments database and use the Sum function in a calculation to determine the balance due.
