I was using those logic statements because it didn't seem to work if I
just used ([week]<=#" & [week] & "#"). I tried including a field
called [weeknew] and doing ([week]<=#" & [weeknew] & "#") but that
didn't seem to work either.
In any case, I was doing more google searches (even though I searched
for hours before posting), and finally found the answer. I was able
to use a subquery to accomplish what I needed:
SELECT a.bname, a.Week, a.SCount, scount+nz((select sum(scount) from
test b where b.ID<a.ID and b.bname=a.bname),0) AS ['Running Total']
FROM test AS a;
Thanks for considering my question!
