You should add a text box at the right group footer, not page footer. Again,
you can let the Report Wizard do it for you, with a new report. Name the
text box by something ELSE than an existing field name, and, in its control
source, type:

=SUM(OrderQty)




The irregular line spacing may be due that you have an empty record, or that
you print some group footer, or group header, with nothing in it, and what
you see is just the paper space it consumes, even if there is no control in
its section.

Hey Michel,

that....

one more question....why the result come with different spacing between
them.

e.g...

result1

result2

result3
result4

thanks again for your help...you the best
The ordering defined in the query WON'T be considered in the report
unless
you do it specifically (same properties sheet, "SORTING and grouping").
So,

Well, that is because a report is not really meant to be 'exported' (unless
you mean something like exported into a pdf 'file').

You have to go back to a query, and use DoCmd.TransferXXX (or equivalent).
The query can then have the criteria inside it, in its WHERE clause, and can
be a Group By query (also called a Total query) so you can SUM or use any
relevant aggregate.

Hey Michel,

it works fine now, thanks a lot.........i had to go back to the grouping
thing and have the header show up, head does export it and does everything
else the footer does. thanks.....again
