Access 2000 - I have a report that consists of 3 groups. Also, I have totals for each group. The requirement is that a grand total be produced as follows: GroupA + GroupB - GroupC. I have not been able to come with a solution. Can this be done? If so, please help.

Can you share any field names and values? What are you totalling? Are you summing or counting values?

I am assuming you have a query for each group and its totals. If that is the case, you create one more query that includes the results of each of the groups and perform your calculations in this last query.
For example, lets say you have fields from the results of each of those queries as follows: one called GroupA and one called GroupB and one called GroupC
Then you create a new query with each of the three above queries as data sources for this final query. You now create a new column in this final query called results. Now you can, in this query, in the results field; do your calculation as GroupA + GroupB - GroupC.
