Creating Expression for Sum of two fields
I'm assuming thisis on a form?
Try putting something like the following in the ControlSource property of the text control that you want to display the sum in: ControlSource: = NZ([Score A), 0) + NZ([Score B), 0) -- HTH Dale Don''t forget to rate the post if it was helpful! email address is invalid Please reply to newsgroup only.

If Score A and Score B are your field names, you should be able to use:
= NZ([Score A], 0) + NZ([Score B], 0) If this doesn't work, please come back with something more descriptive than "is not working". -- Duane Hookom Microsoft Access MVP "Nirav" wrote: Yes this is a form but formula you gave is not working.

Sorry,
I dropped the right brackets "]" from the field names, should read [Score A] and [Score B], assuming those are field names. -- HTH Dale Don''t forget to rate the post if it was helpful! email address is invalid Please reply to newsgroup only.

Creating Expression for Sum of two fields
Dear,
I tried this formula but it is not working. Let me explain.... My "Score A" field shows value of "2" and "Score B" field shows value of "3", so instead of answer "5" (ex. 2+3) it gives me answer "23". Please help.

Creating Expression for Sum of two fields
So, are these combo boxes bound to fields in your table, or are they unbound? If they are bound, then what are the field names? Assuming that you have two combo boxes, named (cboScoreA and cboScoreB) Then try: = val(NZ(me.cboScoreA, 0)) + val(NZ(me.cboScoreB, 0)) -- HTH Dale Don''t forget to rate the post if it was helpful! email address is invalid Please reply to newsgroup only.

Dear,
The formula is not working. It says that The Object doesn't contain the Automation object 'me'. Please suggest.
