Is this possible?

I have a form with a tabbed form with 25 pages of stock. Each one has a total field in the footer and i want to display the total value of all the stock held in the header of the main form.

At the moment i have tried this but i am just getting an error

=Sum([TotalAerosolsSubform].[Form]![Cost]+[TotalBoltsSubform].[Form]![Cost]+[TotalNutsSubform].[Form]![Cost]+[TotalWashersSubform].[Form]![Cost])

What happens if you just add them without Sum()?

It might be prudent to handle possible Nulls too

=Nz([TotalAerosolsSubform].[Form]![Cost], 0) + Nz([TotalBoltsSubform].[Form]![Cost], 0) + Nz([TotalNutsSubform].[Form]![Cost], 0) + Nz([TotalWashersSubform].[Form]![Cost], 0)

Hmmm, i got a rather bizarre result of £8.91 rather than the real value of over £1000

Thank you for replying. I wonder if it might better referring to each page by its Tab value?

you can also create a Query (Total query), qryTotalCost.

select Sum([cost]) As TotalCost from yourTable;

on the textbox on mainform, use the Control Source:

=DLookup("[TotalCost]", "qryTotalCost")

I've got it!
It was an error on my references.

=Nz([TotalAerosolsSubform].[Form]![AeroValue],0)+Nz([TotalBoltsSubform].[Form]![BoltValue],0)+Nz([TotalNutsSubform].[Form]![NutValue],0)+Nz([TotalWashersSubform].[Form]![WasherValue],0)

Thank you all for your help once again
