Report Wizard needs to always automatically offer Summary Options

I'd like to create a report that summarizes my data; with one set of data
(one table) the Summary Options is a choice offered on the screen "What sort
order and summary information do you want for detail records?" With a second
table, on that screen (mentioned above) the Summary Options doesn't even
appear- it is time-comsuming and cumbersome to add summarizing capacity in
the Design view- but what else to do?!

I believe you will be offered this option in the wizard only if there are
numeric fields in your report's record source.
 
Hi Duane- thanks for your quick reply- the table that I need to summarize
does indeed have numeric figures in it.. is there some way I can turn that
option "on" ?

The Excel file that you sent to me didn't have any numeric value fields in
it.

BTW: it is not polite to send files to either the News Group or individuals.
If you want to send me a private email with an attachment then you should
ask first.
