having a play with this now- thanks!

Ah- totally misunderstood DSum- thanks!. I thought the syntax was too simple- now I get it Cheers Tony

I haven't been near Access for about 5 years so go easy. Trying to recall it all I read http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290136 - which uses DSum for a running total. Their example was much more complicated than I need so I was trying to understand how the thing worked. I have searched the...
