How to Get a Value from a Subform in Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial, I'm going to show you how to sum up a field in a subform and display that on the parent form, instead of using the subform footer.

Andrew from Rochester, New York (a Gold Member) asks: Is there a way that I can sum up a value based on a field in a subform and display that on the parent form, instead of using the subform footer?
