Hello all, http://www.mihu.de/foo.odb In my sample database "foo.odb" I have created a table "foo", with fields "nr" (primary key, auto-increment) and "foo" (integer). Then I added a query "sum_of_foo", which, well, calculates the sum of field "foo". Then I created a form "from". This has a table control which references to table "foo". Next I created a subform below the main form and connected it to "sum_of_foo". Then I added a formatted field and made it display the "sum_of_foo". Now when I open up the form, I can see the entries in the top and the formatted field shows the sum of row "foo". When I change entries and press "Enter", the sum is updated accordingly. But, when you move the cursor to the row with the "Star" so that you can add a new record, then the sum vanishes from the formatted field. When you press "Enter" to confirm the new record, you can see that the formatted field is updated , but the result is quickly erased again. If you move the cursor away to an existing record, the sum vanished again. Is this a bug or a feature? Did I do something wrong when setting up the subform or the query? You can download the sample database using the link mentioned above. Best regards Michael.
