[AccessD] FW: Formula in Report not Calculating

I am missing something simple here. Where is the Description control in the detail section of the report?

Chester, I can't promise this will do what you're looking for, but give it a 
try:

1.) In the Detail section, double-click the Description control to display 
its properties.
2.) Set the Hide Duplicates property to Yes.
