I've seen group footers on some sample reports, but I am not sure how to create one. Does anyone else know? What are the reasons for them? Thanks.

If you want to group a report by a certain field, each months to show monthly totals from your data, you would go into Grouping & Sorting (button on toolbar in reports design mode), select field (say [Cost]), then select "Show Group Footer". This will show the footer on the report. Then you would place a text box in the footer with a control source something like "=Sum([Cost])", which will show a total cost for each month.

Have fun! :eek:)
