Viewing Total in Report - Microsoft Access / VBA

Michael Keene

I'm pretty much a beginner with Access but do have some experience but
I'm stuck on this problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I
have a very simple database that tracks the number of students
enrolled in our school. I have designed a report that lists the
families and the number of students per family. I would like to have
the total number of students enrolled show up on the report. I can run
a query that will total the number for me, but how can I get this to
show up on my report?
Thanks.

Depends on the name of the column in the report's RecordSource that
holds the number of students per family. Let's name it "StudentCou nt."

In the report's footer place a TextBox wherever you want the student
total to appear. Put something like this in it's ControlSource property
(under the Properties dialog box Data tab):

=Sum(StudentCou nt)

This should produce the total student count for the report.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
