Sum()
I have a fairly simple form with a query as a control source. The query
includes two calculated columns. They work perfectly. When I change one of the fields in the row that's part of the calculation, the calculated columns recalculate and redisplay no problem. My issue is that in the header (and footer) of the form, I have a text box whose control source is simply sum(TotLabor), where TotLabor is one of the displayed calculated columns. I've changed the name of the text box for that column to "tbTotLabor" so there won't be any confusion (damned Access for naming them that way....) Still, whether I use 'Sum(tbTotLabor)' or 'Sum(TotLabor)', I get a #Error consistently. (A2007) Ideas? -- Jim

Try this --
=Sum(TotLabor) -- Build a little, test a little. "JimS" wrote: I have a fairly simple form with a query as a control source. The query includes two calculated columns. They work perfectly.

Sum()
My mistake. That is the syntax I'm using. =Sum(TotLabor). I actually built it
with the wizard so I wouldn't spell something wrong or something equally stupid. -- Jim "KARL DEWEY" wrote: Try this -- =Sum(TotLabor) -- Build a little, test a little.

Sum()
Now, here's a kicker. I put a new text box on the form footer to experiment.
If I use dsum() instead of sum(), it works: =DSum("TotLabor","qryBoMDetailbyWO",[Filter]) Is that even close to sensible? -- Jim "KARL DEWEY" wrote: Try this -- =Sum(TotLabor) -- Build a little, test a little.

Sum()
OK, now, I'm flumoxed. Suddenly, everything works flawlessly. Both the =Sum()
syntax and the =dSum() syntax suddenly start working. WTF? I didn't even close the form! -- Jim "KARL DEWEY" wrote: Try this -- =Sum(TotLabor) -- Build a little, test a little.
