I'll try to explain this the best I can hoping one of you can help. I have created a report that groups records based on a common reference. In some cases, the group may contain 1 record or it may contain 100. Each record has different field values, many of which are dollar values. Within the report, I have performed certain calculations in an expression (text box) which displays variances of the totals of certain fields within each group. Within the footer, I want to total those expressions. I have tried to sum the calculation expression, I have tried to sum the text box, and several other methods. I hope I have described this problem well enough.
 
I have been able to get the correct result by setting up a running sum text box for each group. The report is actually a few hundred pages long as there are about 36,000 records. However, this is quite cumbersome looking and does not provide for a professional looking report that provides the end result data in the footer.
 
For a quick fix you could set the Visible property to No for the detail running sum text box....

Hoc nomen meum verum non est.
 
How would I get the end result of the running sum to appear in the report footer?
 
Add another text box to the report footer and set its control source to the running sum text box.

Hoc nomen meum verum non est.
