Is it possible to see the total of a column on the display screen of a query?
If so, how do you accomplish this?
 
Queries return rows. If you want to see (only) a total, use a TOTALS query.
If you want to see the detailed row values and a total, use a report based
on the query.

There is no way to have the column total actually print at the bottom of a
query column? I would like to see something similar to Excel's ability to
total a column, but still be able to use Access.
 
Normally this is done in a form or report. If you really want this in a
query, you may need to create a union query that unions the details and a
summary query.
 
It sounds like you want Access to behave like Excel. Could you export your
query to Excel and show the column totals there?
