Sum of Materials

Rick
I'm creating an Access program for my neighbor who is in the concrete construction business and the program is almost finished and I ran into a stag with the invoice part of calculating all the cost. I have watched your videos but this one is different, and I just can't come up with a solution.
each 17 items have its own cost such as Pavers I put PaversCost field to enter the cost, GradeCost for if any grading had to be done and the cost. Concrete purchase and the PSI of the concrete such as 3000 psi or 2000 psi which the field would have 3000PSICost and the 2000PSI would be the same. What I'm shooting for is the Total cost of all materials and work that has been accomplished at the end of the form and report. Sorry about the confusing explanation

Sounds like each of these things should just be separate line items. Add them all up like I do in the Invoicing extended cut, and you should be OK. Beyond that, I'd need to see some screen shots of what you've got going on there, and more specific explanations of what the problems are.

Richard, I sent you a copy of my DB and I know the explanation wasn't clear.  I just needed you to look at the print invoice and show me how to sum all the materials and work completed cost to get a total. I'm really struggling with it.  I'm old (75)lol
Thanks for the help in advance.  Also, the DB only has 1 table, very small company

Form Footer Totals should help.

The video shows how to do it for Forms but Reports work  the same way. Just remember to put any calculated Footer fields in the Report Footer NOT the Page Footer.

Sorry, Ed, but I never accept file attachments. You're welcome to post screen shots here.
