Viewing Total in Report

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 "StudentCount."

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(StudentCount)

This should produce the total student count for the report.
