I am trying to show things with a cross-tab query but with additional
headers.
Is that possible?

I would like to combine the idea of report 1 but with multiple values per
quarter as shown in Report2

Report 1:

UserID total | Q1 | Q2 | Q3 | Q4
-----------------------------------------------
User1
User2
....

Report 2
UserID total | Q1 | Q2 |etc.
| Value1| Value2 | Value1| Value2 | etc.

It looks like I can do this but (visually speaking: not across the top
header as in left to right but in the left-most column going down'. You can
have multiple 'row headings' as they are called in the MS access cross-tab
design view, but they are actually go 'up and down' along in the left-most
column, just make sure group by is set on the additional 'row heading'.
 
Hi Dan,

Actually, you can do what you want without using additional row headings.
You might want to download a copy of the sample queries database from
Microsoft:

The "Access 2000 sample: query topics" database available in Download Center
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=207626

This sample applies to later versions of Access as well. For Access 97, use
this link instead: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=182568

The third topic in this sample (Access 2000 version) reads "How to Create a
Crosstab Query with Multiple Value Fields", and it references the following
KB article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q209143/


Good Luck,
Tom
