I am trying to calculate totals for a database along the lines of:

Take previous value from a table field then add the sum of new events from another table and write this value into a form. This needs to be done for each occurrencs of an ident number within a query.

Something like: For each ident number, take the previous value, add the sum of the new values and write the information into a text box on the form.

Can somebody please help?
 
You will need recordsets, as far as I can tell. Why not put some code together and post it back here, if you have problems?
