I have created a running sum in a form by using the
following DSum Expression:

=DSum("[Service Hours]","[qryServiceInfo]","[EEID]=Forms!
[frmEmplInfo]![frmServiceInfo]![EEID] And [Year]<=Forms!
[frmEmplInfo]![frmServiceInfo]![Year]")

Now I have a text box with an expression in it and I want
to create a running sum of it's results.

But my record source is the form, since I am trying to
total the text box. I get #Error in text box. Any
suggestions on how to get this to work?
 
Domain functions like DSum, DCount, and even regular functions like Sum and
Count only work on fields, either from a table or a query. There is no way
to perfomr these functions on a value in a textbox on a form. If you want
to sum the contents of a textbox, you will have to sum the actual
expressions. If your expression is [Field1]*[Field2]*[Field3] and you want
a sum, you will have to use sum([Field1]*[Field2]*[Field3]).
