Is it possible to sum the data stored in a field of the total records in a Database and display the value of that sum?

Thank you.

Thank you.

The Sum(FieldName) works on whatever the found set is.

The GetSummary (FieldName, BreakField) can be used by having a breakfield which include ALL records in the DB, such as a global or a constant.

One or both of these methods should give you the results you are looking for.
