Associate a record name with a running total in Report Footer

Question

Please Help!
I have a report that returns records for the most recent order recieved by vendor.
The page header displays Vendor, Contact, Order #, and date
I did a group by Vendor
I used a running total on the order date
with a summary of minimum
that evaluates on change of group
Reset never
This returns the last order date for the vendor with the oldest order
How can I get the vendors name that is associated with the oldest order date to display in the Rport Footer.

Please follow the following steps: I tested it and it works.You dont need to use running total.
1. Add the Vendor,Contact,Order #, Order Date to Details Section (u can delete them if not needed from details section)
2. Create a Group on Vendor.
3. Add a Summary  i.e. Minimum(Order Date)
4. Copy this summary to Group Header if you want or just let it be in the Group Footer Section
5. Add a SubReport in the Report Footer Section.
6.The Subreport Should be based on the Command like:
SELECT `Orders`.`Customer ID`, `Orders`.`Order Date`
FROM   `Orders` `Orders`
WHERE `Orders`.`Order Date`=
SELECT MIN(`Orders`.`Order Date`) 
FROM  `Orders` `Orders`)
7. Refresh the Report and you will see that Report Footer section displays all the vendors with minimum order date along with their name.
One more thing to keep in mind is that more than one vendor might have the same minimum order date.
