Yes this is a form but formula you gave is not working.

Could you please help me more?

If Score A and Score B are your field names, you should be able to use:
= NZ([Score A], 0) + NZ([Score B], 0)
If this doesn't work, please come back with something more descriptive than
"is not working".

Sorry,

I dropped the right brackets "]" from the field names, should read [Score
A] and [Score B], assuming those are field names.

Dear,

I tried this formula but it is not working. Let me explain....

My "Score A" field shows value of "2" and "Score B" field shows value of
"3", so instead of answer "5" (ex. 2+3) it gives me answer "23".

Please help.

So, are these combo boxes bound to fields in your table, or are they
unbound? If they are bound, then what are the field names?

Assuming that you have two combo boxes, named (cboScoreA and cboScoreB)

Then try:

= val(NZ(me.cboScoreA, 0)) + val(NZ(me.cboScoreB, 0))

Dear,

The formula is not working.

It says that The Object doesn't contain the Automation object 'me'.

Please suggest.
