I have a query that pulls data from a table in my database and I need to be able to list out totals by month. I am getting the month from the Check Date field I have in the query that list the date in which the check was processed. I was wondering if there was a way to reformat I guess a field used in a query to display differently. So I can show totals by month even though that isn't a field directly in the query.
 
If I understand correctly, you can create a column in your query like:
YrMth: Format([Check Date],"yymm")
This would provide a column in your report that you could sort and group by.
