The initial expression you provided is apparently a group total. If this is
the case, you can probably duplicate the text box in the footer and set its
Running Sum to Over All. Give it a name like "txtHoursRunSum". Then add a
text box in the report footer with a control source of:
=txtHoursRunSum

Sorry, I should have explained better. I use the following formula in the
report footer

=Sum(([On Std Hours Totals]+[Off Std Hours Totals] + IIF([On Std Hours Totals]
+[Off Std
Hours Totals]40, .5* ([On Std Hours Totals]+[Off Std Hours Totals]-40), 0)) * [Employee
Data_Rate])

The On and Off Std Hours Totals refers to text boxes in the report footer
that has the following formulas:

=Sum([On Std Hours])
=Sum([Off Std Hours])

I know this is the problem because the formula is calculating the total on
and off standard hours in the report footer instead of just summing up the
total that was paid. But I can't do a sum of the total paid because it
includes a sum. I've tried using a query as well but it won't work either.

Can you share the expression you tried? Was it:
=Sum(([On Std Hours]+[Off Std Hours] + IIF([On Std Hours]+[Off Std
Hours]40, .5* ([On Std Hours]+[Off Std Hours]-40), 0)) * [Employee
Data_Rate])

I have a report based on a query that uses the following calculation in a
text box to calculate the total amount paid (including overtime) to an
[quoted text clipped - 14 lines]
a total loss of what could be causing this. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!
