Please help Regardless of Access, you cannot program a computer to do arithmetic operations on nonnumeric data types. So, you will have to assign a currency value to company-provided transportation and accommodations in order to calculate a total.

Please help What is the sum of $1250 and "Provided by company"? What is the sum of $1250 and "Given as money"? or more to the point what do you want it to be?? You will somehow have to have - or generate - a numeric value based on whatever is in the Text field; you can't add Currency and Text. What is actually in the Transportation field? Please post examples. -- John W. Vinson [MVP]

If i cannot use a sum in a text is there is any way to show that this employee is taking benefits instead of cash ? If the Text field consists of - or starts with - a number, you could use [Basic] + Val(NZ([Transportation], "")) + Val(NZ([Accommodation],"")) You can show whatever you want based on what's in your table. I'm not sure what you're asking "is there any way" - it's YOUR database, you can display the contents of the Transportation field on the form or report, you can display text if it is NULL or not null, etc. -- John W.
