I don't have access with me right now, but most probably you're <b>missing some criteria</b> in your Dsum equation?

Hi Ryan, thank you. To answer your question, possibly, but I do not think that is the source of the problem. &nbsp;Let me know what you think once you have a sec and at a computer. &nbsp;( I am not either)
</div>


<div>
This gives the sums you are after<br><pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43058076-1"><span>=DSum("Amount";"tblLetterOfCredit";"PaidInFullYN =False AND BankID = " &amp; [tblBanks.COID])</span>
</code></pre>
</div>


<div>
If you are just trying to sum the values in the records above, just use an unbound textbox and as the control source:<br><br>=Sum([fieldname])<br><br><br>

HI John,<br><br>I &nbsp;get a syntax..<br><br>thank you<br><br>Dale: I can not do that....
</div>


<div>
for John's code, replace semi colons <b>;</b> with colon <b>,</b> instead. (perhaps it was due to his local machine's delimiter preferences)

Ryan, ok I made the change &nbsp;but it still doesnt sum as it should. &nbsp;If you see in the report the summing is not as it should for the rows above. &nbsp;Basically it needs to match what is shown on qryPaymentsSumCo<br><br>this is the updated (semi colon removed)<br>=DSum("Amount","tblLetterofcredit","PaidInFullYN =False AND BankID = " &amp; [tblBanks.COID])<br><br>it needs to be something like sum on tblPayments.Amount for each record that tblLetterOfCredit.PaidInFULLYN is false and BankID = " &amp; [tblBanks.COID]....its just as the qryPaymentsSumCo<br><br>Let me know what you think...appreciate it much. <br><br>here is the sql for qryPaymentsSumCo <br><pre><code class="code-1 nolinks" id="code-20-43058479-1"><span>SELECT tblBanks.CoName, Sum(tblPayments.Amount) AS SumOfAmount, Min(tblPayments.PaymentDate) AS MinOfPaymentDate, tblPayments.PaymentDate, tblLetterOfCredit.PaidInFullYN AS Expr1, tblBanks.COID</span>
<span>FROM (tblLetterOfCredit LEFT JOIN tblBanks ON tblLetterOfCredit.BankID = tblBanks.COID) INNER JOIN tblPayments ON tblLetterOfCredit.LetterOfCreditID = tblPayments.LCID</span>
<span>GROUP BY tblBanks.CoName, tblPayments.PaymentDate, tblLetterOfCredit.PaidInFullYN, tblBanks.COID</span>
<span>HAVING (((Min(tblPayments.PaymentDate)) Is Not Null) AND ((tblPayments.PaymentDate) Is Not Null) AND ((tblLetterOfCredit.PaidInFullYN)=False));</span>
<span></span>

Experts, I have a report and I need to sum in the footer and I have the following formula:
=Format(DSum("Amount","qryPaymentsSumCo","BankID=" & [tblBanks.COID] & ""),"Currency")

But what the field on the report returns is something totally different than what the query returns.  I think it has something to do with how Dsum works.  I don’t think a simple Sum will work though.  How can I simply sum?  Please see the attached pared down db and open the only report.  The field is shaded red (pic below) and it is suppose to sum the records above but I cant get it to sum those records so I developed another query qryPaymentsSumCo as a work around and using the above Dsum but its not summing.

Summing in a report - Dsum not working like I expect
