I’m really hitting a wall trying to figure out how to keep a running $ total every time I add an item to a list.

I’m trying to make an itemized list of purchases. I’m trying to figure out the most efficient way to have it so I can add an individual items and then when I go to view the file have it show a total at the bottom. I was hoping to just have one get text box come up and just sort of do the month, the total, and the reason. Somehow I need to grab the new dollar amount, and add it to the previous total. I realize it probably requires three different files one file to keep the running list another for the updated total, in the third one to combine the two. I’m just hitting a real wall. I’ll show you what I have. It’s a little bit of a mess right now because I can’t figure out how to get the numbers to compute and spit out another number. For some reason I don’t think I’m doing it right at all. Please and thank you. I’m also open to any other ideas that might streamline the whole process if you guys know of any. Thanks again.
