Creating Expression for Sum of two fields

[Nirav]

Hi All,

I am new userof access and I am creating a for where I have two fields.

Ex. Score A (Combobox - 0, 1 or 2)
Score B (Combobox - 0, 1 or 2)

Total Score (Text Box) - (I want to create expression here so total score
automatically can be sum of score A and Score B.

Please Help

I'm assuming thisis on a form?

Try putting something like the following in the ControlSource property of
the text control that you want to display the sum in:

ControlSource: = NZ([Score A), 0) + NZ([Score B), 0)

If Score A and Score B are your field names, you should be able to use:
= NZ([Score A], 0) + NZ([Score B], 0)
If this doesn't work, please come back with something more descriptive than
"is not working".

Sorry,

I dropped the right brackets "]" from the field names, should read [Score
A] and [Score B], assuming those are field names.

Dear,

I tried this formula but it is not working. Let me explain....

My "Score A" field shows value of "2" and "Score B" field shows value of
"3", so instead of answer "5" (ex. 2+3) it gives me answer "23".

Please help.

If Score A and Score B are your field names, you should be able to use:
= NZ([Score A], 0) + NZ([Score B], 0)

So, are these combo boxes bound to fields in your table, or are they
unbound? If they are bound, then what are the field names?

Assuming that you have two combo boxes, named (cboScoreA and cboScoreB)

Then try:

= val(NZ(me.cboScoreA, 0)) + val(NZ(me.cboScoreB, 0))

Dear,

The formula is not working.

It says that The Object doesn't contain the Automation object 'me'.

Please suggest.

Dear,

The formula is not working.

It says that The Object doesn't contain the Automation object 'me'.

If this is in a Form reference rather than in VBA code, just omit the me.
