if you have a date field enter this in the criteria
>=[Start Date] and <=[End Date] when you run the query it will ask you for a parameter. you can choose any time period you want. if you want to know the day of the week use:
Day:format([date],"dddd") in a new column, when you run the query it will return the day of the week next to the date.

Gootz11,
Thanks for the information, but How can I get the added totals. If I do a querie of let say 07/28/02, 07/29/02 and 07/30/02 I need to know the grand total for these three days. in other words How do I get it to add all three of them and give me one sum.
Thank you in advance
Al

I would run a query of that query that takes out the date and sums the total. emxpl:
que1: date Total (datasheet view)
7/28/02 350
7/29/02 300
7/30/02 400

Query 2 will run of query 1 but will only include the total colums
Emxp:

Que2: Total (Design view)
Sum

Que2: Sumoftotal (datasheet view)
1050

I hope that helps, I wasn't really sure if that's what your trying to do
good luck
