[babs]

I am getting an error# not sure where syntax wrong also want to add criteria
where workdate is from 1/1/09 to 12/31/09 since trying to total yearly
vacation taken??

HoursVacaCor - is a field that corrects if hoursvaca is null and put in a 0
if it is null otherwise puts in Hoursvaca.

Putting this below code in th footer of the subform but getting an error -

Hi Barb,

It sounds like you are trying to reference a control on a subform. Take a
look at this link.

Assumption is that Man Name is a text field. If so, you need to include quote
marks as delimiters. Also, you have () in the first argument which is
supposed to the be the field (column) name and lack square brackets around the
query name.

=DSum("[HoursVacaCor]","[JeffTime Card MD Query]","[Man Name]= """ & [Man
name] & """")

In addition, if you wanted to restrict to specific dates, assuming the date
field is a field in "[JeffTime Card MD Query]", you could modify the WHERE
argument to include criteria on the date. Something like...

"[Man Name]= """ & [Man name] & """" & " AND [DateFieldName] Between
#1/1/09# AND #12/31/09#"

Thanks so much the code "works" - no error# or Name?- BUT

Field Worker Job # Workdate Vacation Time (hours) VH TotVacTak
CAGNEY, KEVIN 90180056 9/28/2009 0 12

CAGNEY, KEVIN 90180056 9/29/2009 0 12

CAGNEY, KEVIN 90180056 9/30/2009 0 12

CAGNEY, KEVIN 90180056 10/1/2009 8 12
8
CAGNEY, KEVIN 90180056 10/2/2009 4 12

the 1st column of VH(vacation taken) shows the acutal date the vacation
taken. the second column is the DSUM- formula - text box (passed back in
based off the the dsum by man name and date within 2009) the total is
correct - BUT DO NOT LIKE that the dates prior to it taken(9/28-9/30/09) show
up as having used 12 hours of vacaction - anyway to add code in to it show a
Running Actual total -

Thanks sooo much for helping!
