Auto Calculate Totals for Checked Fitness Items

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I will show you how to calculate totals for only the checked items in a continuous form. We'll work with a fitness database tracking calories and protein, add checkboxes to mark items as eaten, and update a query to total just those checked entries. I'll demonstrate how to set up calculated fields in the query, display totals on the form, and use an event to refresh totals immediately when records are updated. We'll also talk about selecting a range of records using shift-click, which will be covered in detail in a future lesson. This is part 50.
