#ERROR in textbox
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. I tested before I posted the suggestion, which was confirmed by an MVP (Douglas Steele?) who posted in an earlier thread on this topic. Your suggestion looks for an exact date match, not a month/year match as the OP wants. If an exact date match is needed it would be best to use date delimiters (#), but again that is not what is requested here. The OP stated (although with question marks in the statement, so I'm not quite sure what to make of that) that Posting Date Period is a text field. If so, it should be changed to a Date/Time field. The Format function seems to be able to apply date/time formatting to a text string that "looks" like a date. To the OP, be sure the exact field names, not any table field captions you may have used, are included in the DSum expression. That is typically the source of the #Name error. Also, please post some sample data (from just a few records) of the actual values in Posting Date Period.

It needs to be something like this =DSum("[Amount]", "[July 09 - On Billings and Adjustments Data Query]", "[Customer No] = '" & [cboCustomerNumber] & "' AND [Posting Date Period] = '" & cboPostingDate & "'") I Take the quotes out like this [quoted text clipped - 38 lines] Thanks in advanced -- Message posted via http://www.accessmonster.com . |

Forget previous post. It works in VBA on the after update of the combo boxes
but not in the control source of the textbox. "RonaldoOneNil" wrote: Clearly there is a problem because he can't get it to work. I have just recreated it in a test DB.

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??

As I wrote in another part of this thread:
Posting Date Period should be changed to a Date/Time field. The Format function seems to be able to apply date/time formatting to a text string that "looks" like a date, but if it is a date it should be stored in a date/time field. Be sure the exact field names, not any table field captions you may have used, are included in the DSum expression. Naming problems are typically the source of the #Name error. Also, please post some sample data (from just a few records) of the actual values in Posting Date Period. You have been exchanging some postings with Daryl S. I suggest that you stay in one part of the thread (the Daryl S part would be good), as it is difficult to know what you have tried when you questions are replies are scattered around the thread.
