Gus gave you a suggestion for how to incorporate the date range in the sum but context matters and the expression would be different depending on where you needed to run it.
TotalCurrentPeriod: Sum(IIf([PostDate]>=[Forms]![frmSelectDateRange]![txtStartDate] And [PostDate]<=[Forms]![frmSelectDateRange]![txtEndDate],[Amount],0))
But I'm going to award points to all who contributed, because everyone provided insight that really helps me, and start a new topic title "Query Designer Help Please".
