How do I Create a running total

[Mack2]

I need to create a field to calculate a running total like below. The field will add the running total to the amount field. Does anyone know how to do this? THANKS!!

ID Amount Running total field
1 12.00 0
2 25.00 27.00
3 62.00 89.00

Something like this (SQL code) ?
SELECT A.ID, A.Amount, Nz(Sum(B.Amount),0) AS RunningTotal
FROM yourTable AS A LEFT JOIN yourTable AS B ON A.ID > B.ID
GROUP BY A.ID, A.Amount
ORDER BY 1;


Hope This Helps, PH.

I ended up using the running sum property. But thanks for helping.
