I am trying to average a numeric field, but some records have a 0 in the
field and i don't want those fields to be counted as part of the denominator.
how do i do this?
 
In most headers or footers, you can use an expression like:
=Sum([YourNumberField]) / Sum( [YourNumberField] <> 0 )
You may need to adjust for possible dividing by zero:
=IIf( Sum( [YourNumberField] <> 0 )=0,0,Sum([YourNumberField]) / Sum(
[YourNumberField] <> 0 ))
