asked on Summing on a form
Experts,
How can I modify this in a textbox on a form:
=Sum([tblPayments.Amount])
To only sum if NotPaidYN = False
In other words, I only need to sum the tblPayments.amount if NotPaidYN = False
thank you

I believe what Gustav mentioned should resolved your issue?
Just in case if it doesn't and you mean to "sum all relevant amount values if its correspondence's field: NotPaidYN = False", then use DSUM function instead.
such as:

Ryan,... understood. Thanks for the tip.
Gustav: do I need an extra parenthesis or something else? I am getting wrong number of arguments and I have tried many combinations.

Personally, I avoid negatives in field and variable names, it just makes them harder to deal with and understand in your code.
Instead of [NotPaidYN] I would have used [PaidYN]
