Do you have raw data, or does your table have data aggregated by your
"frequencies".

What are you trying to "sum"?

What "total line"?

What "criteria"?

We aren't there, we can't see what you're doing.

More info, please...

I'm not sure what you want to sum. If you're writing a totals query to

find out how many records you have each frequency, then:

1. Leave the criteria row blank
2. Include a column with the frequency field in Field Row
Reference:: Sikh Philosophy Network http://www.sikhphilosophy.net/showthread.php?t=10195
3. In the Totals row, select Group By
4. Create a 2nd column with frequency in the Field Row (or any field
that's never blank)
5. In the Totals row, select Count

If you want the totals in some other field, then include that field,
with Sum in the Totals row.

Only use the criteria row if there are records you don't want counted
or summed. Use the criteria to select the ones you do want to count.
