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.
