DSum

62 32bit
I have the the following DSum in a query
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Totals: DSum("[RentPerAnnum]","Lease","[PropertyRef]='" & [PropertyRef] & "'")
This works well and gives me the total sum in one field of Leases attached to the PropertyRef. However, what I would like is for it only to sum the live records. I have a field [Archived] as a Yes/No check box. I cannot seem to get it to only sum the fields where [Archived] is checked as No. I've tried
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Totals: DSum("[RentPerAnnum]","Lease","[PropertyRef]='" & [PropertyRef] & "'" AND [Archived]='False')
but it doesn't work. I've tried other ways but they don't work either. Is there another way to express a check box in the query code?

Assuming Archived is a True / False field, you are trying to compare it with a string 'False'

Try
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Totals: DSum("[RentPerAnnum]", "Lease", "[PropertyRef]='" & [PropertyRef] & "' AND [Archived] = False")
  2.  
Note also the change of punctuation by the word AND

Hi Phil, worked perfectly. Thank you. Is there a way to format it into currency in the code? I cannot do this on the query or text box within the form?

Been playing with Access for nearly 25 years. Getting too long in the tooth to learn new tricks.
