Hi I have a table that i want to do a running totals on one of the colums , the table is actually a querry , so i am doing a select withing a select but access does not let me save the query something about syntax

here is my querry

SELECT A.WeekEndingDate,
A.SumOfBudgetedSpent,
SUM(B.SumOfBudgetedSpent)
FROM
(
( SELECT EVMS_SubTaskSpending.WeekEndingDate,
Sum(EVMS_SubTaskSpending.BudgetedSpent) AS SumOfBudgetedSpent
FROM EVMS_SubTaskSpending
WHERE (((EVMS_SubTaskSpending.ChargeNumber)=[Forms]![EVMS-Select Task]![cmb_ChargeNumber]) AND ((EVMS_SubTaskSpending.JobNumber)=[Forms]![EVMS-Select Task]![cmb_Job]))
GROUP BY EVMS_SubTaskSpending.WeekEndingDate
) AS A

CROSS JOIN
(
SELECT EVMS_SubTaskSpending.WeekEndingDate,
Sum(EVMS_SubTaskSpending.BudgetedSpent) AS SumOfBudgetedSpent
FROM EVMS_SubTaskSpending
WHERE (((EVMS_SubTaskSpending.ChargeNumber)=[Forms]![EVMS-Select Task]![cmb_ChargeNumber]) AND ((EVMS_SubTaskSpending.JobNumber)=[Forms]![EVMS-Select Task]![cmb_Job]))
GROUP BY EVMS_SubTaskSpending.WeekEndingDate
) AS B
)
Where (B.WeekEndingDate<=A.WeekEndingDate) As RunningTotal
GROUP BY A.WeekEndingDate, A.SumOfBudgetedSpent
ORDER BY A.WeekEndingDate, A.SumOfBudgetedSpent

This is the table that the subquery returns
so

WeekEndingDate SumOfBudgetedSpent
4/14/2002 $453.37
4/21/2002 $453.37
4/28/2002 $453.37
5/5/2002 $453.37
5/12/2002 $453.37
5/19/2002 $453.37
i am tring to crossjoing the subqueries and get
a variation of the above table with an additional
column with the Cummulative SumOfBudgetedSpent
so it would look something like this

WeekEndingDate SumOfBudgetedSpent
4/14/2002 $453.37
4/21/2002 $906.74
4/28/2002 $1360.11

why isn't access acepting my query please help

AFAIK Access does not support the CROSS JOIN syntax. Replace that with a ,

i did replace the syntax so that it looks like the following query

SELECT A.WeekEndingDate,
A.SumOfBudgetedSpent,
SUM(B.SumOfBudgetedSpent)
FROM

( SELECT EVMS_SubTaskSpending.WeekEndingDate,
Sum(EVMS_SubTaskSpending.BudgetedSpent) AS SumOfBudgetedSpent
FROM EVMS_SubTaskSpending
WHERE (((EVMS_SubTaskSpending.ChargeNumber)=[Forms]![EVMS-Select Task]![cmb_ChargeNumber]) AND ((EVMS_SubTaskSpending.JobNumber)=[Forms]![EVMS-Select Task]![cmb_Job]))
GROUP BY EVMS_SubTaskSpending.WeekEndingDate
) A
,
(
SELECT EVMS_SubTaskSpending.WeekEndingDate,
Sum(EVMS_SubTaskSpending.BudgetedSpent) AS SumOfBudgetedSpent
FROM EVMS_SubTaskSpending
WHERE (((EVMS_SubTaskSpending.ChargeNumber)=[Forms]![EVMS-Select Task]![cmb_ChargeNumber]) AND ((EVMS_SubTaskSpending.JobNumber)=[Forms]![EVMS-Select Task]![cmb_Job]))
GROUP BY EVMS_SubTaskSpending.WeekEndingDate
) B

Where (B.WeekEndingDate <= A.WeekEndingDate) As RunningTotal
GROUP BY A.WeekEndingDate, A.SumOfBudgetedSpent
ORDER BY A.WeekEndingDate, A.SumOfBudgetedSpent

and now it gives me a different error messege

Syntax Error (missing operator) in query expression '(B.WeekEndingDate <= A.WeekEndingDate) As RunningTotal"

Can anyone help please

Here is one further problem

Where (B.WeekEndingDate <= A.WeekEndingDate) As RunningTotal

You can not specify correlation names in the where clause, so remove As RunningTotal
