Hi,

I have 2 textboxes on my report (for example textbox1 and textbox2.)

Both textboxes are using IIF statements to return a sum of values and the number is displayed as the result in these 2 textboxes.

Now I have a 3rd textbox called textbox3.

I want to do a sum of textbox1 + textbox2 and display the result in textbox 3.

So textbox 3's expression will look something like this:-

Sum((textbox1.Value)+(textbox2.Value))

How can I do this?

You need to use the ReportItems collection like this:

=ReportItems.textbox1.Value + ReportItems.textbox2.Value

I am getting an error with that:-

The value expression for the textbox3 contains an error[BC30456] "textbox1" is not a member of Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportObjectModel.ReportItems

Then your textbox is not named textbox1. Check to see what it is named.

I have re-named them but it's coming up with the exact same error message. Just with the names changed.

My first textbox is now called 'self1'. The second one is called 'self2'.

the third one displaying the result is called 'result'.

I noticed after my textbox name in my expression 'value' was not an option in the drop down list brought up by intellisense.

This is my expression:-

=ReportItems.self1.Value + ReportItems.self2.Value

There is a red line under the first ReportItems saying wrong number of arguments

Sorry, my bad. It's not:

=ReportItems.textbox1.Value + ReportItems.textbox2.Value

it is:

=ReportItems!textbox1.Value + ReportItems!textbox2.Value

Replace the period after ReportItems with an "!". I always do that w00t
