problem with MS Access

1
I am trying to add data from 3 fields in a query. This should be simple as I have used this many times before, but something is wrong. If the data in my fields is Val1= "1", Val2= "2" and Val3= "3" then I am building an expression that simply states Total Val:[Val1]+[Val2]+[Val3]

I keep getting the value shown as "123" in stead of "6" like I expect... why isn't the data being added? it looks like it is concatenating it.

Does anybody know how to fix this issue?

Sounds like the values are saved as text. You could probably convert before adding, such as CInt(Val1).
