Hello,

I import data into two tables.  To ensure that the import worked, I check 
the sum of one of the columns, in this case the purchase order value.

Right now, my application outputs this check into a report -- but we don't 
print the report, we just open it, view the sum, and close it.

I'm trying to replace this report with a form, like a pop-up box.

My trouble is, I can't get the "Sum" formula to work in a text box in the 
form; all I get is #Error.

My formula is =Sum(qry_ListCmtPO!CmtValueObj).  This seems to work fine in 
the report.

Any help is appreciated.  I don't know if it's a simple syntax error, or if 
what I'm trying doesn't even work.

Thanks,

D 

Take a look at the DSum() command instead.

Yep, that's EXACTLY what I need!

Thanks!

P.S.:  I've used DLOOKUP in the past, and these "D" commands are pretty 
useful -- I had just forgotten about them.  It seems that all of the 
tutorials / manuals tend to "bury" them at the "back of the book," so to 
speak.
