Add 5000 to field

[LearnersPermit]

Good morning, Sorry for posting in both tables and forms, but I think that this is a basic question that I should know the answer to, but can't get it to work.

I have a field in my vehicle table called Preventative Maintenance that holds the mileage that the last PM was completed.

Now I want to add a flag on the form that alerts the user when the next PM is due. I have tried =Sum((tblVehicle.last_PM)+5000) without success. I have added the , and removed it several times.

Any suggestions to how I can correct this problem.

Thank you.
