Report shows wrong Sum() format

Hi all,

I am having three queries which I combined using an union query and each
query has a cost field. In the report when I try to get the sum([cost]) I
get a number with many decimal zero's all my cost field in the query are
single and have decimal property set to three. Any ideas why I am getting
such a long number after using the Sum() function? Pleaase advice.

You have to apply the format to the display object. Since the queries'
results are being displayed in a report you have to set the format of
the Sum(Cost) TextBox to Currency, or whatever format you want.

Hi. I have a problem with alternating background colors in a report. The code below shows, that the first line should always be white (default global boolean value is false). However it depends on the number of records upon which the report is based. If the number of records is odd, the first line is grey; if it's even, the first line is white (how it should be). I included so much debug.print lines to nail down the source of the

I've built a report using a aggregate query that is grouped by Month + Year, Program and Name. When I feed the date ranges as query parameters, it will very properly print out a report that shows a separate page for each program by month with the names of the folks in that program. So far, so good... But what I need to complete the report is a summary page for the entire date range in the same format. I have no &%^# idea how to do that....
