April, I have seen a number of people have problems with what you are looking to do. The easiest solution I have come across is to do some of teh calculations in your query. Basically add a few fields, like CNAHours: IIF([Service]="CNA", [Hours]), LPNHours: IIF([Service]="LPN",[Hours]) and so on for each type of Service. Then sum each in the footer. Notice that there is no else in each of these. That leaves the field null in rows where there is not a matching type of service. The other option is to Add Grouping to your report and create group footers for Service and have your totals appear there. Then you automatically have that sub-total when you add new services as well as an overall total. I am not sure why you were getting an error on your report. I can only suggest verifying the spelling and that you included them as visible fields in your query.

In Page Header all my labels Details all my field codes including nbrcltID and nbrTueH Page Footer two textboxes one with =Count([nbrCltID]) I want a count of how many Clients are on the list. And the other textbox with =Sum([nbrTueH]) I want the total number of hours needed. When I preview this form both of my equations show #Error.... What am I do wrong..... These equations is just total number of clients and total hours.... which is fine.... but since I am asking, Can you tell me A: How to get this code to work as is. and B: How to get a break down of those total hours to show how many hours for each CNA, LPN, and RN Thanks, April ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?Subject=unsubscribe Or, visit the group's homepage and use the dropdown menu.
