Capture Sub-summary values in a variable?

[aholtzapfel]

Is it possible to capture all sub-summaries values generated by a report and store them without the need to export them?

A looping script, à la Edoshin's Fast Summaries, could do it.

Thank you.

I think that will work for me.

I have written a script that uses "Fast Summaries" to grab a value and post it into anouther file. It works great in filemaker 9 but not in filemaker 8.5. I designed it in FM Advanced 9.0, all info on this technique says it should work in 8 and above. Anyone have any thought as to why this would break in 8.5?

Nevermind: Solved it.

It appears that the GetSummery funcution does not evalute in fm 8.5 when called from a script. I ended up creating a field to hold this value and grabing it from there.

Just thought I would document this since all indications said that it should have worked in 8.5.

Hello,

Pretty interesting to me. Could you please post a file, or some information on how you did this. Will be appreciated.
