I did this at first blush but got nada.. so I used the view.

I didn't try that.. Frankly, I have just started rehabing my old stuff that I
run my internal business on and some of the stuff dates to around '88, so in
7.x it is a little creaky.

What made me go to the view immediately, is I seemed to recall that the dbCalc
was created out of necessity because some of the older stuff (like mine) was
breaking in 7.x.

I'll go back and have a look, but the view is working perfectly and the Report
is pretty lean this way.
