Thanks Ken Mayer
Thanks Mervyn Bick
Mervyn Bick seems to be more standard/best solution.
 
But
A more simpler solution it seems to be necessary,
like using in Value property of a total field/object, a expression like in others app:
....Value ="SUM <col/field>...."
 
and nothing else Pensativo

To take this a step further it is not too much extra work to show the
the total value of each order in the grid showing the orders for each
customer.  A little bit more work and one can show the total value of
orders placed for each customer.
 
I've used masterSource instead of masterRowset/masterFields. As the
calculated fields are created in the queries' SQL properties the form
designer sees them straight away.  It is, however, important for the
constructor code for a query used as a masterSource to be before the
constructor code for a "child" query in the source code.
