display total from subreport

[mfenn]

Hello,
Im using CR 8.5 with ODBC connection to tables.

I need to pull a total from the subreport into the footer of the main report. The subreport will display the correct amount when run by itself but displays 0.00 in the main report.

I have tried just putting the subreport in the main report but it doesn't display anything(blank). I am also trying a shared variable, which is displaying 0.00 instead of the actual amount.

In sub report I did a running total of bils.amt and created the shared varriable, which is in GF1 of sub:

whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar bilsamt := {#RTotal0}

I placed the shared variable in GF1 of the main report to display the total from sub.

whileprintingrecords;
shared numbervar bilsamt;

The variable alwasy displays 0.00 on the subreport

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

HI,
Figured this out myself. Seems I supressed the running total (not the shared variable) in the subreport which for some reason made the variable not display in the main report.

I moved the running total and variable to the details on subreport and unsupressed. Now the variable is displaying in the main report.

Thanks anyway.
