My field is set as text as depending on the entry a number or a letter may be entered.
I would like to run a query that adds the numbers together for a particular field.
Thanks for your help...

 
Can you provide some sample data, how the data to be appeared after the query ??

Zameer,
Thanks for offering your help.
I may have sorted out the problem.
My field was a mixture of numbers and letters. When I attempted to add there was a mismatch because of the numbers and text entered. I have filtered just to include the numbers and it is now happy to add up.

Thanks anyway.

Wayne
