Expression Field in a query treat as number

[basshead22]

Hello All,

It's been awhile since i wrote in here.

Here is my scenario. I have a query that has several IIF statements based on the FTE count. I want the return result to be formatted as a number so when i do my total field it gives me back the correct number. Right now if i do a total based off the results it doesn't treat the results as a number it pretty much just concatenates both fields.

example Field #1
Program FT: IIf([PM_PC_PROGRAM]="Program" And [FTE]=1,"1","0")
Result = 1

example Field #2
Program PT: IIf([PM_PC_PROGRAM]="Program" And [FTE]<1,[FTE],"0")
Result = 1

Example Field #3
Total FTE: [Program FT]+[Program PT]

Results = 1.1 Instead of 2

Please help !!! i'm breaking my head all morning!!! :banghead:
