I have 4 queries that total pounds and cases ship by user specified date, I
want to find the total of the results of these queries.

Is this possible? if so, how?

if they're union-compatible (same data types in each column, same
number of columns), then you can union the 4 queries in another query
and then total that.

Your basic union query would look like this (Q1, Q2 are queries) I'm
calling it "MyUnionQuery" (See below):

SELECT ObjectType, Quantity
FROM Q1
UNION ALL
SELECT ObjectType, Quantity
FROM Q2;

Then you would simply total by doing this:
SELECT ObjectType, Sum(Quantity) As TotalQuantity
FROM MyUnionQuery
GROUP BY ObjectType
ORDER BY ObjectType;
