Hi

I have two types of timers for client sessions - one with an automatic calc of the lengtth of the session and another where you just type in the day and the time taken. Both have two fields which show firstly the total time for just this client and another which shows all the time for all clients. This is shown in the client (related) file.

I have two report layouts - one for each timer (and will do a combination one soon), as not all people want to use the same type of timer. On the one that works (the auto calc one), I have clients with their individual totals in the body part, and then a trailing grand summary with the summary field which calculates the total for all clients (using that particular timer). This all works very well.

However, I have exactly the same thing for the other timer, but the grand total does not show up on the layout either in Browse or Preview mode.

I have checked the relatiomships and the define fields - as far as I can see they are identical. So why does one work and the other not?

Any suggestions would be very gratefully received.

Thanks

Charly

Nobody else has responded so I'll chuck in my 2 cents' worth but Ic can't remember exactly what troubles I had in this situation.

If you are trying to show Summaries from the related file in a layout on the main file, you will have problems. You need to get such summaries as Calc fields of the type -

Sum(Relship::NumField)
