Running sum in a form

[Guest]

Hi there,

I have a sub form on a form that is pulling data from a query. I want to
have a running sum on this subform (which is a continuous form) and used the
formula below. The record source for the subform is Query1.

=DSum("[Amount]","[Query1]","[UniqueField] <=" & "[UniqueField]")

I'm getting the sum of the entire query for each record and I'm not sure
what is wrong with my syntax.

Could someone help me out?

Thanks in advance!!

TT,

If UniqueField is a number...
=DSum("[Amount]","Query1","[UniqueField] <=" & [UniqueField])
If UniqueField is text...
=DSum("[Amount]","Query1","[UniqueField] <='" & [UniqueField] & "'")

Thanks Steve!

I appriciate the help. I should have mentioned that [UniqueField] was a
text value.

I've tried your suggestion and now it appears that the textbox holding my
DSum formula is now showing all fields as blank or null.

Now I'm really stumpped. Sorry to be a bother, but if you have any
suggestions, please let me know!

Thanks again!
Todd
