summing fields (Access2000)

[jrhowles]

I sure there is a very simple way to do this but please help.
I have a VERY simple database which has fields for showing how many lessons a strudent attends each week. It has a yes/no field for each day (i.e mon through sat). All I need to do is add up how many lessons each student attends each week and show the total in a form and report. Simple in excel but my mind is blank in access.
Please help.

In a Yes/No field, Yes is stored as -1 (True), and No is stored as 0 (False). So you can total the fields to find the result, something like this:

Total = ABS( chkMon + chkTues + .... + chkFri)
