Is there a switch or a setting in Access so that a group by query
doesn't return a field name SumOf(original field name)? Especially
when you chain multiple queries together you'd get SumOfSumOfSumOf ....
Anyone know? TIA.

In the Query Grid of your Totals Query, precede the field name of the summed
field by itself and a colon. For a totals query on the Order Details in
Northwind.MDB, that gave me the SQL:
SELECT [Order Details].OrderID, Sum([Order Details].Quantity) AS Quantity
FROM [Order Details]
GROUP BY [Order Details].OrderID;
And running the query showed "Quantity" as the column header, where the
normal totals query gave the following SQL:
SELECT [Order Details].OrderID, Sum([Order Details].Quantity) AS
SumOfQuantity
FROM [Order Details]
GROUP BY [Order Details].OrderID;
and showed "SumOfQuant ity" as the column header.

Hi Larry,
Unfortunately, this is exactly what I don't want to do. Some queries
can easily have 10, 20 fields and assigning a new field name (followed
by a colon) is time consuming and tedious. Is there a feature (a
check box or something equivalent) that let's Access group by queries
return the original field name? This should be an option to users if
it's not available. TIA

If it is an option, I am not aware of it. Sometimes things are just more
work than we'd like.
Sorry, but I'm not a good channel to get requirements to Microsoft. If I can
find one, I'll post a followup.

Is there a way to add a field to an existing table using a query of

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
