Problems using the Sum function on a form

sAre there any known problem with this function? I am trying to sum a
numerical field on a slightly complicated form, but get #Error. If I create a
simpler form, with exactly the same box for the sum, it works fine, but
cutting and pasting the box to the more complicated form, I get #Error again
(both forms based on same data, etc).
 
Does the control have the same name as the field to which it's bound? Make
sure that controls on forms and reports don't have the same names as the
fields in the record source. When you try to reference the control, Access
doesn't know if it's the control or the field you're looking for. So, if
your field is called Amount, then name your text box txtAmount.
