Calculating correct percentage

I have used Sum(Abs([field])) to convert my neg. (-) values to pos.
(+) values how can I obtain the correct percentage.

For example, here is my expression from my query trying to calculate
the correct percentage, in this case, 2/2+3 = .4*100 = 40%.

Expr18: (((Abs(Sum([MinOfAgencyCont actYes])))/
(Abs(Sum([MinOfAgencyCont actYes])))+
(Abs(Sum([MinOfAgencyCont actNo])))))

Expr18 returns 400% instead of 40% due to using Sum(Abs([field])).

How can I correct this?

I am so close to completing this report.

Thanks!,

I think I figured it out?!

Here is my new expression 18 (I divided by 10 to return the correct
percentage, in this case, 40%).

Expr18: (((Abs(Sum([MinOfAgencyCont actYes])))/
(Abs(Sum([MinOfAgencyCont actYes])))+
(Abs(Sum([MinOfAgencyCont actNo])))))/10

Thanks!!!!!!!!

As a regular ciwas reader, I learned that fixed-pixel designs are evil, so for the newly created site http://www.ddc-deutsch.de (in German, still very much under construction) I arranged the content (left) and the menu (right) (ideas stolen from bluerobot.com) using percentage widths (75% content, 25% menu). This looks nice in Opera 7.11 but in IE 6, content and menu are overlapping. When reading the following, please keep in mind, that...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
