[mso] Access Question

Ok...this should be easy but I'll be damned if I can figure it out.

I have a calculated control in a query which multiplies my ListPrice field
by my QuantityOnHand field to give me the total value of inventory.  It
looks like this:

WholesaleValue:[ListPrice]*[QuantityOnHand]

Now I want a TOTAL for that column in my query.  Is this possible?  Access
Help says I can add all the values in one field, but no matter what I do, it
just gives me the same values that are in my WholesaleValue calculation.

I set the Total row to Expression and I added a calculated control that says
Total:Sum([WholesaleValue]) but what I end up with are two columns in my
query, WholesaleValue and Total, and they have EXACTLY the same numbers in
them.  What I want is a total of all the values in my WholesaleValue column.
How the heck do I do this?

I'm doing this for someone who insists it has to be done in Access....if
this were Excel, it would be a snap, but good ol' Access has to make
everything so difficult LOL

Any help would be appreciated...thanks.
