If your dataset is connected to real (access) database - new record will be stored in db, so you need to re-query your second query (sum) - after posting - if both forms are active. 
qry.Close;
qry.SQL.Text := 'select Period, sum(Value) as Total, ... from tabel2 order by ...'

Open in new window

... if second form is  not active, just re-open query on each OnShow event.

you can't automatically
an event must be fired and reacted upon

for example  update fires afterupdate and in this you refresh the summary

some grids like devexpress quantumgrid allow summarized fields which are automatically updated
those values are not stored in the database, but in the app grid memory

you can take a screenshot with printscreen ...
open paint and paste the image
and then cut out the area you want with crop

did you really use your smartphone for that screenshot ?
