Good Evening Jerry,

> The entryfee field does have several more positive and negative entries. The SUM(amount) worked perfectly until a few days ago when it now produces only a zero value? The correct result should be a positive number with the values I have in my table now.

Option 1

I would recommend that you make a copy of the table. Blank out all the
other fields and post the table.

Some thing is amiss which I am unable to guess now.


Option 2
Add a logical field.
Set the field to true for 5 or 6 rows.
Try

sum entryfee to x for newfield = true
?X

If this is non zero then there is some issue with data and not with dbase.
