If you don't have to store the total (and you shouldn't store calculated
results), a simple expression in the controlsource property of the text box:

= Combo1.Column(2) + Combo2.Column(4)

Column 2 is the 3rd column. and Column 4 is the 5th column.

If you don't need to store it, use the AfterUpdate event of each combo to
check for a valid value in the other combo, then write the calculation to
the textbox.

Hi

thanks for replying

but This is still not working, maybe i've done something wrong

But
combo box 1 is a customer number 0001 feild(0)
combo box 2 is a posting date 2009/07(1)

Then i have an amount field with all sales that went through

what i need is the textbox to look up on the combo box 1(Customer Number)
which and then look up on combo box 2(Posting Date), then once is lookup on
those variables in the combo boxs, SUM all values for that customer and on
that month and display it

eg

combo box 1 - customer number 0001
Combo Box 2 - Posting period date 2009/07
Text Box - Amount £5000


Thanks again, sorry if it seems confusing
