DSUM Function in VBA

Hi Phil

To use one of the Excel functions like DSUM, you need to create a variable to store the DSUM value. The variable type must equal the type of data being returned (In this case Single or Double).

The code would be:

Dim MyDSumValue As Single

MyDSumValue = Application.WorksheetFunction.DSum(Database, Field, Criteria)

Hope this helps

Excel tip:

Change the default location for opening and saving spreadsheets

If you are always opening spreadsheets from and/or saving documents to a specific location that is not My Documents, save time by setting this folder as the default for opening files from and saving files to.

Here's how:
1. Go to Tools - Options.

2. Select the General tab.

3. Enter the pathname of the folder you wish to make the default in the Default File Location box (hint: it will be easier to use Windows Explorer to navigate to this folder, then copy and paste the pathname from the address bar at the top of the Windows Explorer screen).

4. Click OK.

You have now changed the default folder for opening and saving spreadsheets.
