When creating a table in MS Access 2007. How do I sum a series of detailed records and assign it a field holder (store the sum) in an Access form?

I have a simple detail table that takes a series of suppliers that send us a commodity and the columns need to be summed.
                                                    Suppliers       Weights

                                                     ACME            1000 lbs
                                                     ABC Co         1200 lbs
                                                     XYZ Co          1150 lbs
                     I need the count of suppliers and total weights summary below
                                                         3                3350 lbs

I think I need to create a field for each summary ten some how build the formula or expression that will add those up. Is that right and do you have an example in steps of how to do that?
