but it gives me error
i put unbound text on the main form to caluclate the same

Rudwan,

Best to do this in two steps. Put the unbound textbox on the main form,
as you have already tried, make this hidden probably, and let's say you
name it Subform2Total. Then, refer to main form control in your
subform1 textbox, like this...
=[Parent]![Subform2Total]

ok . this way gives correct result . but for the current
record only . becauese it gives the same total for all
records in subform1
