Adding new page figures twice

rbuser

I have D5 with RBuilder. In order to make custom sums into ppLabels, I use
the BeforePrint event to add fields and put them into variables. Before
printing the summary band, I load the variable values into new ppLabels.

However, when I check the numbers, I find that the program adds the first
number at the top of each new page twice (ie. if I have the numbers 2 and 4
at the top of page 2 and 3 in my report, the sum is off by 6).

What is going on and how do I fix it?

I recommend looking at the Calculations tutorial in the Developers Guide. It
contains step by step instructions for using the TppVariable component -
which is the component you need to be using.

This rbWiki article provides an overview

There are additional demos installed with the product.

Thanks. That worked slick. I guess I was still in QuickReport mode.
