Summarizing the number of text entries on a report

beacon
579 512MB
Hey everybody,

I'm sure this is cake, but I'm still kinda stumped. I'm trying to summarize info on a report based on the number of entries on the report.

I have 5 fields: FName, LName, Program, SkillLevel, and PhoneNumber. Each of these fields make up one line of info on the report. I want to count the number of entries and summarize it at the end of the report. Do I have to have some kind of number field, maybe a hidden one, associated with the other details in order to count this?

Am I way off track? Like I said, this is probably simple, but Tuesdays are always my Mondays...

Thanks,
the beacon

Any TextBox in any report header section can have a formula
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. =Sum([Item])
where [Item] is a control from your detail section. Any aggregate function (Count; First; Last; etc) can be used in the place of Sum().

Thanks for the help. I actually thought I tried that, but I was probably entering it incorrectly. Me and my hastiness.

Anyway, thanks again. My report is complete...bwoohahahahaha!!
