calculating totals

rbuser

Hi,

Instead of setting up the report via the design, I set up
the data information on runtime, how do I set a variable
to calculate the total of a particular column?

I've searched the newsgroup but there are references to
a wiki page; but I get a Network Timeout error when
trying to access :

http://www.digital-metaphors.com/rbWiki/Delphi_Code/Calculations/Overview

From what I gather from the documentation so far, I basically
add a variable to the Summary band. After that I'm stumped.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Edmund

Hi Edmund,

To access the rbWiki site you need to be able to access port 8080 on our
server. In my tests, our server seems to be functioning correctly.

If you would just like to calculate a total of a certain field, try
using a DBCalc component instead of a Variable. For more complex
calculations, use the Variable, and make the calculations in the OnCalc
event. See the RB help for more information on these components.

Do I need to specify 8080 somewhere in the url?

You shouldn't need to. We have an alias set to "rbWiki".
