Thanks for all the suggestions. It must user error on my part. I cannot make this work. As a workaround, I suppressed the Group Footer using this formula only: {CHECK_MRCH.check_vendor} <> 'BT OFF-SIT'
I exported the resulting records to Excel, then sorted and manually removed any Check Dates that were greater than 10/1/2014. The result was 4520 rows in the Excel Document.
When I tried Abhilash's suggestion after changing it to >=,
{CHECK_MRCH.check_vendor} <> 'BT OFF-SIT' and
{CHECK_MRCH.check_date} >= cDate(2014,01,10) //yyyy mm dd format
I got 15270 records and also had dates greater than 10/1/2014
When I tried Dell's suggestion of
{CHECK_MRCH.check_vendor} <> 'BT OFF-SIT' or
{CHECK_MRCH.check_date} >= Date(2014,01,10)
I got 1280 records. No Check Dates greater than 10/01/2014 were included, but some that met the date criteria were excluded (as compared to the report I created by manually sorting and deleting of the Check Dates in Excel).
When I tried Matt's suggestion of
{CHECK_MRCH.check_vendor} <> 'BT OFF-SIT' and
{CHECK_MRCH.check_date} >= Date(2014,01,10)
I got 15041 records, some of which included Check Dates greater than 10/1/2014
Matt, when you said you do not want the "suppress box" checked, did you mean leave it unchecked when entering the formula, then check it once the formula is complete? If I leave the suppress box unchecked, I end up with 439042 records, most of which I do not need. If I check it after entering the formula, then I get the 15041 records.
If it helps,here is some background on the report:

Again - thanks for all of your help on this. I appreciate your taking the time to assist me.
