Help with reporting

[Donkick]

I have a table named "jobs"

I have another table named "line items"

I want to create a report that will summarize a found set of "jobs", and it seems to work best working within a "line items" layout. Except I cannot summarize fields that are from the "jobs" table.

So I try to build the report based on the "jobs" layout? Then I seem to have trouble summarizing all the "line item" fields.

Where am I going wrong?

Could you be more specific about which fields do you want to summarize in each table, and what should the report look like?
