Default #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") & "'")

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.

You need them around each argument in the DSum statement and it is because of

be something like this

"[Customer No] = '" & [cboCustomerNumber] & "' AND [Posting Date Period] = '"
& cboPostingDate & "'")

I Take the quotes out like this

Forget previous post. It works in VBA on the after update of the combo boxes
but not in the control source of the textbox.

Default #ERROR in textbox

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...

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.

Default #ERROR in textbox

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.

If you have verified that the expression should work, make sure that this
calculated textbox doesn't have the same name as any field in your form's
recordsource.
