Access Not Grouping Records

Ok, i have a Access Database (which is used with my ESRI Arcmap) and i
have written a query for a report to pull out our streetlights and
group them by billing wattage. The problem is that it is counting the
number of lights and summing them like i have asked, but in some cases
there are more then one row with a different sum but the same billing
wattage. Here is my SQL query. I'm trying to group by billing wattage
so all the unique billing wattages are together. Thanks in advance!

SELECT POLE.BILLING_WA , POLE.ST_LITE_TY , Sum(POLE.QTY_LI GHTS) AS
SumOfQTY_LIGHTS , POLE.TOWN, Streetlight_Acc ounts.Account
FROM Streetlight_Acc ounts RIGHT JOIN POLE ON Streetlight_Acc ounts.Town
= POLE.TOWN
GROUP BY POLE.BILLING_WA , POLE.ST_LITE_TY , POLE.TOWN,
Streetlight_Acc ounts.Account, POLE.ST_LTOWNER , POLE.QTY_LIGHTS
HAVING (((POLE.TOWN)<> 'LOB' And (POLE.TOWN)<>'p ort sy') AND
((POLE.ST_LTOWN ER)<>'MTO') AND ((POLE.QTY_LIGH TS)>="1"))
ORDER BY POLE.BILLING_WA ;

Craig,

The issue is most likely that you have a difference in one of the other
grouped fields that is causing you to retuen multiple rows for the same
billing wattage. If you have two different ST_LITE_TY, you will get
two rows even if BILLING_WA is the same for each. To eliminate this
type of problem, you have to remove any other extraneous field values
that are not pertinent to your query. If you don't really want
differentiation by ST_LITE_TY or some of your other fields, like TOWN
ro Account, then you should remove these from the query SELECT
statement and GROUP BY clause and use a WHERE clause rather than a
HAVING clause to limit the results by those fields removed from the
SELECT clause. This change should give you the result you want without
additional groupings.

BILLING_WA ST_LITE_TY SumOfQTY_LIGHTS TOWN Account
0 MV 3
BB 72414
0 MV 2 BB 72414

Here is a snipit of the output... i don't understand why it's not
grouping the MV's and adding the sum of lights together.

Grouping in a report always overrides the query. Use sorting and grouping
in the report.

There is no way to group these records in the query?

If I were to hazard a guess, one of these two field groupings is
creating your record differences: POLE.ST_LTOWNER , POLE.QTY_LIGHTS .
Since you are summing QTY_LIGHTS, why are you grouping on it?
