Thanks. but can you please help. I have the following
code. I know how to get the data now. but I have to
find a way to total it
FormPtr form = FrmGetActiveForm();
FieldPtr field;
MemHandle h;
CharPtr s;
field = (FieldPtr)FrmGetObjectPtr(form,
FrmGetObjectIndex(form,MainField1Field));
h = FldGetTextHandle(field);
if (h)
{
s = MemHandleLock(h);
FldSetTextHandle(field, NULL);
FldDrawField(field);
field = (FieldPtr)FrmGetObjectPtr(form,
FrmGetObjectIndex(form,MainTotalField));
FldSetTextHandle(field, h);
FldDrawField(field);
