calculated field from sub form datasheet
My form has this format:
1) Main form...Single form - sub-form1.....datasheet - sub-form2......datasheet sub-form1 has a numeric field: Order sub-form2 has numeric field: Received I need a field in sub-form1 to calculate the total of [sub-form2].[Received] and compare it to 'Order' so I know when the order has been completed. I have tried a field 'subTotal' in the footer of sub-form2: '=sum([Received]), but when I put a reference to 'subTotal' in sub-form1 I get '#Error'. Thank you for your help!

You can try this format:
=Forms![main form]![sub-form2].Form!sub-form2 This usually works for me. -- Amy E.
