Subform not displaying footer total

Attached document shows how I've defined a simple subform with a total in the footer.  I've inserted the subform into a page, but cannot get the grand total to display.  See attached screenshots.  This should be so simple!

If your subform is in Datasheet view (or a query - which will be displayed as a datasheet), then the Header and Footer do not show. For these to show, you need to use a Continuous  Form view.

Thanks Experts!  re mx's comment, the subform was a Continuous form already.  I just modified the Grand Total field from Sum(txtTotalCost), to Sum(TotalCost) and works perfectly.  Will remember this for future forms.
To be sure, I almost missed you mistake too...
