	I have fields like field1, field2, field3, etc... Each field has a value of 1-5. I want to add each field...ie... field1 + field2 + field3, etc... Where I can get a total. Any help would be appreciated.

	assuming they are numeric and all on the same row create a formula field and add then just as you were... table.field1 + table.field2 + table.field3 If you have the possibility of any NULL values in ANY of the fields you are adding make sure to make the formula use 'Default values for nulls'

	They are considered a string but it will always be 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 without an option to leave it blank.

	If I just: tonumber ({field1} + {field2}) I get the fields joined. 34 instead of 7.
