Summary Field Bug in FM8?

[surwoop]

Having trouble getting a 'Fraction of Total' to work in a summary field with FileMaker 8. Works as expected in FM 6 & 7.

Has anyone else noticed this, or is it just me?

Sorry, I'm not very clairvoyant today.

there is too little information given for me to help.

Either attach a clone of the files, and explain a little more in detail as to what is changed, or give us more detail on what you are having trouble with, and include names of Fields, copy of calculations, etc.,

OK, more info.

Summary fields don't work as they did in FM 7 & FM 6 when defined as 'Fraction of Total' with the 'Subtotaled' check box checked.

If you open the attached file in FM 7 & run the 'Report' script the subtotaling works correctly. In FM 8 the subtotaled summary fields always return 1.

The file has screenshots of the report in FM8 & FM7 if you don't have both (or either).

I have spoken to FileMaker support about this, they were able to replicate the problem & have 'escalated it to engineering'.
