Thanks bill what I'm trying to do is build a small time tracking site. So users enter in their hours and then I want to build a view(report) that totals the time for each taxonomy item. So would that work for the views to use that module?

Hello, Chris,<br><br>I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "sums up other fields" but you<br>might want to look at the computed field module -- if you want to bring<br>a few fields together into one field, you can write a snippet that will
<br>grab these values into the computed field.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Bill<br><br>Chris McCreery wrote:<br>> Nevermind figured it out, problem in my database and it's collation<br>> needed to change it to utf8_general_ci. All set now.
<br>><br>> On another note you wouldn't know how to create a field that sums up<br>> other fields?<br>><br>> Thanks again.<br>><br>> On 9/17/07, *Bill Fitzgerald* <<a href="mailto:bill@funnymonkey.com">
