Alan -

If the field in the database is [Posting Period Date], then you have the
field name wrong. Try this:

=DSum("[Amount]", "[July 09 - On Billings and Adjustments Data Query]",
"[Customer No] = '" & [cboCustomerNumber] & "' AND [Posting Period Date] = '"
& Me.[cboPostingDate].Column(0) & "'")

I am assuming cboPostingDate is a combo box, and the date you want is in the
first column. If that date is a text value in the correct format (yyyymm),
then the above should work. If not, you will need to add formatting to that.

Is the bound column of cboCustomerNumber a number field, and are Posting Date
Period and cboPostingDate date fields?

i keep getting #error in my text box

i'm struggling to find they answer to why

the query July 09 - On Billings and Adjustments Data Query
has fields of

customer Number
posting periood date
Amount

Now i have two combo boxes on my form which the text box should look up

Customer number and Name, are bound to another table

No (for customer Number)
Name ( for customer Name

Customer Listing Table

not linked to July 09 - On Billings and Adjustments Data Query

Is this what causing my error and how do i fix it

Thanks in advanced
