I believe you could grab the dbcalc value using the getproperty command GETPROPERTY <ComponentID> VALUE 'varname' Then you can do what you need with it. Dan Goldberg

I have a report that is not working properly. It subtotals data from different columns (using a DBCalc), then I need to add those subtotals to make a grand total and subtract that from a set amount found in another table. I used to do this using variables which doesn't seem to work well anymore. I can get all my subtotals to work using DBCalc, but, how do I add up results from a DBCalc? How do I capture that value? thanks, Lin
