Add Field Total

[DBFIN]

I'm trying to add a field total by clicking on the field and then selecting the sum function while in layout view. The sum function is grayed out, so I am not able to add a sum.

I think you need to be in design view, not layout view to do it.

I researched both the layout and design view methods, the sum option is gray either way.

I think I may have discovered the issue, the field is formated in text, can't sum text.

Ah yes, that too, but I thought it was obvious.

Thanks again !!
