[AccessD] FW: Formula in Report not Calculating

Chester,
Jumping in a bit late, but it sounds to be as if your query needs sorting
out.  Susan asked the appropriate question and your reply indicated this was
the reason.  You need to put the expression that creates the duplicates into
a sub-query which only returns on response and then link that to your query.
I come across this frequently.  If you cannot find which tbale/field "is the
culprit", count the records in the query, then delete each of the
table/query until the number reduces to what you know is the right answer
and then work on that.
Probably not explaining it too well.
Max

They are in the query result because it has another field named Department
Description that is different in each record but is not shown in the report.

Are those duplicates also in your query?
