Variable

rbuser

I have a variable I created in a summary band and has OnCalc of:

value := frmreports.ppDBCalc7.Value + frmreports.ppDBCalc8.Value +
frmreports.ppDBCalc9.Value +
frmreports.ppDBCalc10.Value + frmreports.ppDBCalc11.Value +
frmreports.ppDBCalc12.Value +
frmreports.ppDBCalc13.Value;

where the dbCalc's are all sum values also in the summary band. If I trace
through the code, the value is calculated correctly in the OnCalc code. When
the report generates, my value is 0 though. Any clue? (Reset does not fire
after value is assigned).

The problem most likely is that the variable's datatype is set to string
(default). You'll need to set it to double or integer for your numeric
calculations.

You could also use a variable component for each of the other calcuations
instead of a DBCalc. Their is a CalcOrder property which applies to the
order in which the OnCalc event is fired when a calculation in a variable is
relying on the value in another variable in the band when the variable's
value needs to fire in order. His property only applies to components in a
single band, it does not work across multiple bands.
