Default #N/A errors

I am trying to sum a colume that has some cells with '#N/A'. The cell with
the total, displays a '#N/A' now. How can I have that cell display the total
of the numbers entered when there are the errors in the sumed cells. Thanks.

It seems that the field is a text field, so you should be able to use the
following in a query to get a sum. THe expression should also work in a
report or on a form.

Sum(Val([Some Field] & ""))
