How to sum the records of a field?

[Ali Rizwan]

Hi all,
I have a field in an access database name Cost i want to find the sum of all amount.
Database name = EXP
Using ADODC
VB6

I have a number of three adodcs on same form.
Plz give me the solution, using my information.

Tablename = EXP
DataBase name = Expenses
ADODC name = ADATA
Field name = Cost

Thanx

Dim cval as Integer = 0

For i as integer = 0 to EXP.Count - 1
cval += val(EXP.Item("C ost", i).Value)
Next

MsgBox(cval.ToS tring)

Try to use SQL for the purpose.

did you try this query in
"select sum(fieldname) as total from talblename "

replase filedname and tablename according to your tables
where fieldname=the field you want to count
talblename=the name of table weher you have a field
try this query

Dim ras As Integer

ras = "select sum(Cost) as total from Exp "
MsgBox ras

' I assume that your data base is connected and working fine


Dim SumCost As Double ' Declare as a global variable

Create a button name btnSUM and Caption it &Sum

Privte Sub btnSUM_Click()

SumCost = "0.00"

Do until ADATA.Recordset .EOF = True
If ADATA.RecordSet .Fields("Cost") <> "" then
SumCost = SumCost + ADATA.RecordSet .Fields("Cost")
End if
ADATA.Recordset .MoveNext
Loop
MsgBox("The sum of fields Cost = " SumCost)
' You can do whatever you want to do with SumCost here

' Possible Error: Where fields Cost is empty
