From: RonaldoOneNil on 25 Mar 2010 11:22 Clearly there is a problem because he can't get it to work. I have just recreated it in a test DB. I got it to work by having single quotes on the first Format statement and double quotes on the second. My customer No and Posting Date Period are both text but the Posting Date period is stored as a dd/mm/yyyy The folllowing then worked =DSum("[Amount]", "July 09 - On Billings and Adjustments Data Query", "[Customer No] = '" & Me.cboCustomerNumber & "' And Format([Posting Date Period],'yyyymm') = '" & Format(Me.cboPostingDate, "yyyymm") & "'") "BruceM via AccessMonster.com" wrote: > There is no problem with the quotes in the format statement.

From: RonaldoOneNil on 25 Mar 2010 11:32 Forget previous post. It works in VBA on the after update of the combo boxes but not in the control source of the textbox.

From: Daryl S on 25 Mar 2010 11:46 Alan - I changed the cboCustomerNumber assuming it is also a combo box, and the number is in the first field: =DSum("[Amount]", "[July 09 - On Billings and Adjustments Data Query]", "[Customer No] = '" & Me.[cboCustomerNumber].Column(0) & "' AND [Posting Period Date] = '" & Me.[cboPostingDate].Column(0) & "'") If it doesn't work, I would suggest adding the following before the DSum so you can see what is really being passed: Debug.Print Me.[cboCustomerNumber].Column(0) Debug.Print Me.[cboPostingDate].Column(0) The results will be in the immediate window when the code runs. Also check the exact spelling of the table and fieldnames, as we can't do that remotely... -- Daryl S "Alan" wrote: > I just Get #Name error now?? > > Any suggestion > > "Daryl S" wrote: > > > Alan - > > > > If the field in the database is [Posting Period Date], then you have the > > field name wrong.
