Sophia, I created a quick Access db with a table with the fields Payment1 and Payment2 and a report that shows each field and the sum of the two. Let me iterate how I set things up and maybe you'll spot something that you missed.
Table tblPayments:
Field: Payment1 Currency, Decimal Places: 0, Default: 0
Field: Payment2 Currency, Decimal Places: 0, Default: 0
Report rptPayments:
Report: Record Source: tblPayments
Text Box:Name: txtPayment1, Control Source: Payment1, Format: Currency,Decimal Places: Auto
Text Box:Name: txtPayment2, Control Source: Payment2, Format: Currency,Decimal Places: Auto
Text Box:Name: txtSumPayments, Control Source: =[Payment1]+[Payment2], Format: Currency,Decimal Places: Auto
HTH
Thanks guys. After using Filemaker for so long, I am finding this really frustrating, and I can't find a good student registration database to look at the inner workings of. (I found when learning Filemaker that looking at sales-type databases didn't seem to help me much)
From Slashdot:
"Google's new IM service is already live. All you need is a Jabber-compatible Instant Messaging client (such as Apple's iChat, or gaim), and a GMail address." This should answer, at least in part, all of the speculation that has been flying around the net over the last couple of days. Stay tuned to Google tomorrow for details.

Huh. I have iChat and a GMail address....
eta: I'm logged in. I just have no one to talk to.
If anyone is online right now, could you see if you can access Eherensteinland.com for me, please?

36 seconds and nothing for me, evil.
Nope.
It appears that DNS never found the address.
"Great"! Thanks tommy and ita. I just needed to know it wasn't just me who couldn't access the site. Now I know the problem
is
at the server end and not here at my end of the journey.
eta: and thanks also, Jon
I can't ping ehrensteinland.com - the host does not resolve. So it still looks like a DNS issue.
Did you just change something, and the change has not yet propegated through DNS-land?
No, I've not changed anything, tommy, and that's the problem.
We're on a shared IP and I believe that's the cause of the frequent downtime the site has been experiencing. They say it has nothing to do with the IP but I'm not convinced.
I can access the site's control panel using the IP address, so I'm fairly sure it's got nothing to do with them rebooting the server, which is their standard excuse for any downtime.
