    Work in Progress Calculation from Form with Subforms

    Hi,

    So I've got what I think is a pretty complicated query I need to build, and while I think it's possible, I'm not sure how to build it, really.

    Basically I need to calculate a work-in-progress amount.
    I've got a timesheet form with 5 subforms: Hours worked, equipment used, vehicles used, materials used, and Jobs.

    Hours worked has a number of hours, and a role which has a specific chargeout rate.
    Equipment is similar.
    Vehicles used has a mileage amount, which is then applied to a $/mile amount.
    Materials used is just a total $ amount.

    Jobs specifies the jobs worked, with the percentage of that days time/charges that should be applied to that job. (And the job is then linked to a client).

    Ideally I'd like to be able to track WIP by job# by taking the timesheet and going:


    [% application]x [(Hours worked x role chargeout) + (Equipment used x chargeout) + (Miles x Chargeout) + Materials Amount]

    Does that sound like a thing that's possible?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I feel like my database structure is right, but now I'm struggling with getting it to tell me the information I want.

    Thanks in advance
