edited March 2004 in General
Hi all!
I am new to report builder for delphi, I got a few questions....
I am using the defined DBCALC sum to calculate the total from database.
Unfortunately I cannot link any user define variables such as some variable
perform some group sum caculation, and on the next group I want to use that
group sum that I got from calculation to perform DBCALC, but i only get one
field value and not the group total value....anyone can help?

    Hello,

    Unfortunately the DBCalc component will only sum the values from a data
    field in your database. We have had a few other customers ask for this
    component to be enhanced to sum other values such as TppVariables and other
    DBCalcs. This feature is definitely on our wish list for future
    enhancements. As for now, you can still keep a sum of other values by
    simply using a TppVariable component in your summary. Using the OnCalc
    event of the TppVariables, you can update the sum of the entire report based
    on its current value.
