Hey there…  
This is probably terribly simple, but I cannot seem to find the correct syntax…  
Got a table, lots of entries with different labels, and a couple of integer fields for each. I can easily get the total of 1 of the fields for each label with the SUM(field1) GROUP BY label syntax.

What I would like to do is get the total for both of the fields. I tried a few variations:  
SUM (field1, field2)  
SUM (field1 + field2)  
SUM (field1) + SUM(field2)  
but nothing has worked yet…

Little help, please?  
Thanks
