I want to thank you all for your contributions to this thread. While the solutions presented didn't work for my situation (Crystal XI R2 connecting to a DB2 database using Client Access ODBC drivers) I was able to come up with an alternative.
For anyone else who has the same setup I do, here's...
You may have already checked this, but could it be a problem with the selected .dll files in VB6? (Tools/References) I'm only basing this suggestion on the headaches I've experienced with VBA/Access 2000 regarding having the correct libraries selected and in the correct order of precedence.

You could also create a variable to do your summary then display that variable's value at the end of your report. Here's an example:
Assume the formula you want to summarize is MyFormula
We'll name the variable SumOfMyFormula
You need to create another formula that will reside in the same...
Naith has the correct method for obtaining the blank values in the Courses table.

Thanks for the response! I went a little further and actually copy/pasted the following code in an effort to test my theory:
<Begin Code>
Sub OpenDatabaseTest()
Dim wsODBC As DAO.Workspace
Dim db As DAO.Database

' Create the ODBCDirect workspace

Set wsODBC =...

Ok, here's something odd. I'm trying to write a query that accesses a DB2 database on an AS400. I'm connecting via ODBC just fine, but the admins for the AS400 have set a time limit of 1200 on all queries (to keep users from overloading the system).
I've built a query that runs off a HUGE table...
Ok, as luck would have it, I discovered the solution not long after posting my original question. Here's what I found:

This page details the steps for setting up Paradox to work with ODBC connections. My problem was I was confusing...
Howdy everyone,
After looking through this forum I haven't seen a clear answer to the question of connecting to a database via ODBC. Posts like the following...
