Hi Andrew,
I hope this works....
 
Create your report that includes the field [item cost].
 
In Report Design View, drag down the report footer (it will not be visible).
In the Report Footer, draw a text box (AB) and use this formula =sum([item cost])
 
 If you need to multiple items (eg 10 x item 1 at cost 20, etc) this can be done in a query first using the Expression Builder and then the total calculated added as above.

	dear all
	 
	I am looking for the simplest way of creating a total for an access database
	I have a field in my DB called item cost
	what I would like is that at the end of a report/query it will add together all of the item cost values to give me one final total cost value
	 
	i.e.
	
	
	item 1 cost 20
	item 2 cost 30
	 
	total is 50
	 
	I believe it has to do with queries and reports but have not yet found a solution
