    Help getting Total from Subform on Form (Again)


    I have completed this task before on other DBs but something is happening differently here.

    I created two different sum boxes and placed them in the footer of the sub. I then created two boxes to bring the sum back to the main form. I tried different formatting but neither works. Can anyone see what's glitching this process?

    Thanks,

    Greg

    Did you use the Builder to enter the path of the 2 sub form boxes?

    1. your first sum in the subform footer is for [total wgt] - there is no field called [total wgt], although you do have a control called [Text34]
    2. I'm pretty sure your sums need to be of field values, not control values since I don't think they work with unbound controls

    No. I simply use the sum function. I will add some protection for empty or zero values once I get the total working in the simplest version.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
