Use a field from a subreport in a calculation formula

[Tonyvee73]

Hi Guys
I have a field from a sub report and its showing fine in the main report (Say total 1)
Now i need to write a formula in the main report to calculate that Total1 + Total2 = Total3 but dont know how to reference the field from the subreport (I can access formulas by the '@' and parameters by the '?' but am lost with referencing subreports in formulas. Can someone help?

Create a shared variable in the subreport to contain your Total1.
ie: {@SharedUpTTL1} as: shared numbervar ttl1 := {@Total1};

create a matching shared variable in the main report.
ie: {@SharedTTLT1} as: shared numbervar ttl1;

you should be able to use the new variable in the main report almost anyplace after the subreport.

In any section after the section the sub-report is in and the section the sub-report is in cannot be suppressed.
