[AccessD] Help on Complicated record count query

Is there no DR/CR or debit/credit indicator in the records, or are you
actually bringing it in from an image or a text file?

Subject: [AccessD] Help on Complicated record count query


Using Monarch I have successfully parsed a bank statement file (6620
records) into Access. Unfortunately deposits and withdrawals are both
positive numbers. The problem I am having is determining where
withdrawals begin so that I can flip the sign. Below are the relevant
fields. SELECT tblBankStmt.fldDate, tblBankStmt.fldAmt,
tblBankStmt.fldCustref, tblBankStmt.fldDescr FROM tblBankStmt;

fldate is actually a text field with "04/01" - "04/30". Deposits are
listed first with 4/1-4/30 in order. The withdrawals start over with
4/1. There is nothing in the table to distinguish where withdrawal
records start except that the date changes from 4/30 on the last deposit
item back to 4/1 on the first withdrawal item. So I need an SQL criteria
(or maybe an iif stmt on the amt field) that counts the number of
deposit records and flips the sign on every record after that. I do not
khow to do this so any help would appreciated. TIA
