    I’m being forced to move to Access from AceFile. I’m trying to replicate a report in Access that I had in the previous database program.

    I have a database which lists submissions made to magazines. What I can’t seem to figure out is how to get a subtotal of each article submitted. In AceFile I designed a report that looked something like this (the dashes aren’t really there, the message won’t show the spacing of the report table otherwise):

    Article———Publication———Submitted—-Returned—-Response

    The Dog——The Y Review—–4/9/01———-5/9/01——–No
    ——————The T Review—–5/10/01——–6/9/01——–No
    ——————The B Review—–6/10/01——–7/9/01——–No
    ——————The J Review—–7/10/01——–8/9/01——–No
    ——————The S Review—–8/10/01——-9/10/01—– -No

    Subtotal: 5

    The Cat——-The Y Review—–4/9/01———-5/9/01——–No
    ——————The T Review—–5/10/01——–6/9/01——–No
    ——————The B Review—–6/10/01——–7/9/01——–No

    Subtotal: 3

    And so on for each article. I can’t figure out how to even start.

    Ideas welcomed.

      Hi,

      add grouping in your report. Each time a new item is ‘dicovered’ a total is done in the footer of the group. It will look like:
      In detail part of the group add your items in text boxes (TextBox ControlSource = FieldName) and in footer add also text boxes with the control source set to =Sum(fieldname).

      Hope it helps,

      Nick
