Dlookup

Hello, I am trying to substract 2 separate values in the following but I get a #error.  I imagine its a paren but not sure where.  thank you in advance.  

=DLookUp("Amount_ Aggregate","tblDraws","ID=" & [DrawIDrpmt])-DLookUp("Amount","tblDraws_Details1","DrawIDrpmt=" & [ DrawIDrpmt])

Ryan ChongCommented:
you may break down your function into 2 parts...

first using your first part of function and see what was being returned?
=DLookUp("Amount_ Aggregate","tblDraws","ID=" & [DrawIDrpmt])

Open in new window

similarly, do the same for the 2nd function:
=DLookUp("Amount","tblDraws_Details1","DrawIDrpmt=" & [ DrawIDrpmt])

Open in new window

this will give you clue which part is getting an error and let you handle that error more efficiently.

Or missing Operator?

The first argument in DLookup is an expression where vba checks for missing operators.

DLookup ("x + 2", ...: Expression to look for value of field x + 2.

In what Rayan assumed, your code assumes, because of a space in the name,  a missing operator between assumed fields: "Amount_" and "Aggregate".
