Lookup on an unstored field won't work

I have two related files A & B related by field "ref no" in file A and "reference" in file B

I have an unstored calculation field in file B that uses GetSummary to give me a total amount paid per "reference".

I have a field in file A that uses lookup to get the unstored calculation from file B.

when I run the lookup I am returned a "null" value.

There is a value in the field in file B and when I change the focus of the lookup in file A to another field from file B the lookup works correctly.

We have just converted the files from v5.0 for Mac OS 9 to 8.0v3 on Win XP.

The above situation worked fine on the Mac but does not work on WinXP.

Any body have any ideas?

No need to use the GetSummary( just pull in the the real summary field from the related table to the viewer layout, and btw no lookup.
