In the past, I have been able to use this expression for a Sum field in an Access query. I have two tables in a query for a simple timesheet application. The two Tables are tblTimesheet (fields: TimesheetID(PK), WeekEnding, Day, Hours, Date, and Paid) and tblPaid (WeekEndingID(PK), Paid). If I remember correctly, I should be able to make a new field by entering: TotalHours: Sum([tblTimesheet].[Hours]) When I do that it says that I'm not including WeekEnding in the aggregate function. If I delete the WeekEnding field then it gives me the same error with whatever the first field displayed is.
