Total Footer

Sum() it up



If you would like to show a total in the footer or each page of a report, you may have a problem. Access does not allow the SUM() function in the footer.

The way around this is to put a SUM() function in an unbound text box in another part of the report.

Choose Properties and set the visible property of the control to No.

In the footer, create another control using the "calculation" text box as the ControlSource.

The Sum() function, as well as the other aggregate (totals) functions can reference only a field and not a control.
