Please open the form in design view.

Select the Employees combo box.

View its Properties.

Post the following properties to a message here:

- Rowsource (where the combo box gets its information) - post the SQL view if
it is a query
- Control Source (where it puts the data when you select a row)
- Bound Column (which field from the rowsource it stores in the control
source)

The syntax of DSum is that it takes three text strings as arguments. The first
text string is the field that it sums; the second is the name of the table or
query containing the field; the third is an optional criterion specifying
which records to sum. So

=DSum("[Amount Earned]", "[EMP]", "[Emp id] = " & [Employee Name])

means look in the table EMP; select those records where the [Emp id] field is
equal to the value contained in the form control named [Employee name] - which
I'm hoping is the employee ID; and when you find those records, sum up the
numbers in the field named [Amount Earned] and return that sum as the result
of the function.

Ok then.

I had built the table tblEmp with fields

Emp id -Auto Number
Emp Name- Text
Date of Joining -Date/time.
Days worked- Number
Amount earned-Currency

Regarding the

RowSource:i had created a SQL Query name qryemp,where the query returned
only the Employees name from tblemp

Control Source:=DSum("[Amount Earned]","[EMP]","[Emp id] = " & [Emp Name])

Bound Column:not sure which column i should refer 2/5.

Also , please tell me ,can i upload the file to your reference.

Thanks in advance.....

Chiki...

My crystal ball is very foggy tonight.

I cannot see your database.

You have not been communicating.

Please post (as requested!) the names AND DATATYPES of the fields involved.
Please post (as requested!) your actual code.
Please post the actual text of your error message.
