I am doing a small job on Access 2K and having strange happenings! I have a series of Text Boxes in the Form Footer which should add up minutes spent by employees on different tasks. However they are all showing #Error If I enter into the Control Source of one Text Box: =Sum([qryIG_Wed].[DBAdminEventTime]) and try to save it, it changes to =Sum(qryIG_Wed.DBAdminEventTime) If I enter =Sum(qryIG_Wed.DBAdminEventTime) and press Enter, it changes to =Sum([qryIG_Wed].[DBAdminEventTime]) If I View the Form I have #Error, however if I have the Properties Box open in View Mode and enter =Sum(qryIG_Wed.DBAdminEventTime) it converts it to =Sum([qryIG_Wed].[DBAdminEventTime]) and the correct figure is shown in the Text Box. I have spent 4 hours on this problem and it is driving me crazy! I have tried importing everything into a new database. Compacted and repaired. In fact everything I can think of short of using a hammer on the computer. (within the next hour). I am sure I am missing something very easy. Someone help me please Chris --------------------------------- Everyone is raving about the all-new Yahoo! Mail beta.
