ACCESS 2000 Question

This probably is a basic question for most of you, but I am setting up an very
simple database - person, date traveled, location and milage - using ACCESS
2000 and I want to add up the milage in one field so when I do a query on each
person I can print out a report giving their total milage for the time period.
I have been pulling out my hair over this one. Any help MUCH appreciated!! My
books on ACCESS 97 don't seem to address this. I have tried =Sum to no avail.

You have at least two choices: sum in a totals query and use the totals
query as the record source of a report or form to see only the totals, or
calculate the sum in the footer of a report. You certainly do not want to
calculate and store the total (redundant information) in a table. If this is
not enough of a help, please clarify where you want to display the totals
and whether you want to display the detail _and_ the total, or just the
total.

Larry, thanks for your response. I have tried to put the sum in a totals query
but it didn't work so I think I need to add something more. Could you walk me
through this? (Understanding that I am an Access novice.) I thought it would be
easier to add up the milage in the query than a report as I want to run a
report on several people to give them their total milage and I could just
change the name in the query. I want to list every week's milage along with the
total miles in a report.

I have a client that has asked me to modify an existing Access MDB. My question is they want me to populate their SQL server(2000 I believe). How can I accomplish this in Access 2000? Are there things I should be aware of first? Another question, where can I get a copy of SQL server to test with? Isn't there a "personal" version I can attain for development purposes? It seems ridiculous for me to have to "buy" SQL server for testing...

This is not a question, but I need a bit of advice. I need to create a software solution for users in various countries. Normally I would use Access 2000 and simply deliver the databases for use. Unfortunately some of the users will not have Access installed on their machines, and will not purchase it simply to use this software. In the (bad) old days of using Access97, I would have simply sent the databases together with the runtime...

....or lack thereof... I use Access 2000 which I own as part of Office 2000 Professional. I've had enough trouble with glitches to ask if these are common occurrences - 1. Sometimes the "Help" system won't start. Sometimes it will. It starts more often than not. I don't see any pattern to when it does or doesn't. If the Access "help" won't start, the Visual Basic "Help" usually won't start either. This glitch has been going on for...

I have several databases that are opened using various versions of Access and VB.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
