    Help with inventory and price database

    Hello,


    I'm new to access and I'm having a hard time figuring out something. I don't really know how i would explain this so I'm gonna give you guys an example.
    I would do monthly updates on inventory counts. I would update the DB when I purchase more inventory and put in at what price they were bought at.
    I would use inventory from oldest to newest
    So at the beginning of the month I have 100 CD's that were bought at $1 each and during the month I buy 100 at $ 2 and at the end of the month I would do my regular inventory check. And I have 150 CD's in inventory.
    So how would I design this in access to see how much my inventory is worth.

    Thanks in advance.

    It may be easiest to add one more field to the above mentioned designed of data type "Calculated". This field would be equal to [Qty]*[Cost], and a query could take the sum of this field.

    Is this the real King2g??! Please don't drop bows on these people. We respect it.
