Shared variables problem

[johnism]

I can not get this work , any idea where I am going wrong here?
I am wanting to return a subreport sum and add it to a main report sum.
in the subreport I have this in it's own formula

Shared numbervar Batch :=Sum ({Tkbatch.Qty}, {Tkbatch.Qty})

this is in the main report in it's own formaula

Shared numbervar Batch

the subreport ( when previewed displays the value ) when I preview the main I get a 0 value for the subreport value.
Any ideas where this is going wrong?
Thanks ,
john

The display in the main report must occur in a section after the subreport. For instance, you can't have the subreport in the report footer and the display in the header. The value isn't updated until after the subreport is completed.

Also you may want to be sure that before you use the numbervar you will want to place in the line above it:

WHILEPRINTINGRECORDS ;
Shared numbervar Batch :=Sum ({Tkbatch.Qty}, {Tkbatch.Qty})

WHILEPRINTINGRECORDS also needs to go in the main report as well:

WHILEPRINTINGRECORDS ;
Shared numbervar Batch ;

It is a good habit to always specify the eval time of variables. But since shared variable have to be WhilePrintingRecords, it will work without the specification in this case. Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting
