Hi John,

The #Error error value means that Access cannot evaluate an expression:

Are you referring to the name of the control, or the name of the field when you are using the Sum
function? You will get an error if you try referring to the name of the control. You might find
this KB article helpful. Although it talks about displaying subtotals from subreports, the logic
should be very similar for displaying subtotals from subforms on the main form:
