    Dlookup as Control Source

    I have a query that sums a PaymentAmount field (2011 only). This is the query SQL:
    SELECT Sum(tblPayments.PaymentAmount) AS SumOfPaymentAmount
    FROM tblPayments
    HAVING (((tblPayments.PaymentDate) Like "*2011"));
    I created a form where I want to summarize certain information. I want to include a field called YTDpmts that gives me the result of the above query. I made the control source of the field: =DLookUp("[SumOfPaymentAmount]","zqrySumPmts") and it gives me #Error as the value of the field. I would love to just add the SQL statement above as the control source, but that doesn't work either.

    Should I be using DSUM instead? I tried using: =DSum("[PaymentAmount]","tblPayments",Year([PaymentDate])=Year(Now())) but I get #Name?.

    Please help.

    Thanks in advance.

    I got this to work:

    =DSum("[PaymentAmount]","tblPayments","[PaymentDate] between #01/01/2011# and #12/31/2011#")

    How do I replace between #01/01/2011# and #12/31/2011#" with syntax that will give me only payments where Year of [PaymentDate] = Year(Now()?

    Is DSUM the best solution?

    Thanks again,
    Al
