Inconsistent Running Totals

[Dewey12]

I have a FoxPro 6 application that runs a crystal report. The report was written with Crystal Version 8.
After I installed Crystal Developer 8 on my machine, the running totals on the application report were randomly changing (criteria was the same).
I then ran a similar report in crystal developer and again the running totals were changing each time I refreshed the report.

Anyone encounter this problem before?

I've had my running totals go nuts on me before under a number of situations. Did you use the wizard to create them or did you create them yourself using formulas?

The running totals in v8 are pretty consistent (some of v7 had problems). Of course if you are writing them with variables there are lots of landmines to avoid. Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting

Thank you for the responses!
I am using the running total wizard. Also
the field that is being totaled is a formula field. It is not a complicated formula just A-B.
Could it be a problem with the .DLL?

Dewey, not that I know of..

Ken, what do you think?

Dewey, I would say to try to create the running total yourself (and not use the wizard) and see what that spits out for you. Call me picky, call me old fashioned, but I've had better luck with the 'homemade' ones...

Post the formula, and then post the settings for your running total, and location, and then describe the error. Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting
