In a data environment I write code like:
select ([exam fee]*[other fee]) as total from table1
then it work, but when I write like below it not work:
select sum[exam fee] as total from table1
what problem with it?

another thing. I write like:
"select sum[exam fee] as total , sum[other fee] as total_fee from table1"
it not work

Are the fields numeric? If not that could be your problem but without seeing your code who knows.

Good Luck

NOTE:

sum[exam fee]  ==>   sum([exam fee])

NOTE:

sum[exam fee]  ==>   sum([exam fee])

I don't understand by this code. I want sum[exam fee] and sum[other fee]. is it possible with your code?

yes.
SUM is a sql function. you must use '(' & ')' for it.

change your code in this way:

"select sum<strong>(</strong>[exam fee]<strong>)</strong> as total , sum<strong>(</strong>[other fee]<strong>)</strong> as total_fee from table1"
