Missing Values Cause Empty Fields in Access

In this Microsoft Access tutorial I'm going to teach you how to fix a problem that occurs when missing values on your form result in empty fields for your calculations.

Liam from Omaha, Nebraska (a Platinum Member) asks: I have a form where I enter in a couple of fixed costs for a service order and then I itemize the services performed to get a total. The problem is it all works great unless one of those things is missing, then I get a blank result. What am I doing wrong?
