Total Field contents not visible until I click on it (1 Viewer)

[bmal]

Imagine that you see a column of values and then a total at the bottom. The only issue is that the total value does not appear until you click on it.

It is almost as if it is lazy and needs to be reminded of its obligations.

Can anybody think of a setting that would cause a total value in a footer section to not appear automatically?

Behavior is noticed on reports as well as subreports. An image is attached.. Imagine the $37,000,000 simply not appearing until it is clicked with the mouse.

Confirm that you Total field is in the footer of the report c
:=Sum([INCOME])

How do you view your report - "Report View" or "Print Preview"?

 

[bmal]

report view. We do not print much; screen viewing is sufficient.

Try to choose the option "Print Preview".
The different reports events isn't fired in "Report View".

Can you please elaborate on the report events in Report View?

Print Preview does work properly and does display all the information, however, that is not how the application is used. People want to use Report View which offers command button functionality, etc.

I will continue to play around with it. One frustrating thing is that it's not happening on all workstations.

Can you please elaborate on the report events in Report View?

It is easy to check - place the below in the "On format" event.

Private Sub ReportHeader_Format(Cancel As Integer, FormatCount As Integer)
  MsgBox ("Hi")
End Sub
