    Hi Sheetal,

    Which component are you using to calculate the Balance value? If for
    instance you were to use a TppDBCalc component set to caluculate the sum of
    the Amount field, it would in fact keep a running total across all pages.
    If you would like to actually show the previous page's total at the top of
    the next page, you could calculate the Balance value using TppVariables,
    then perhaps display the variable's value in the header band of each page
    after page one.

    Hello Nico,

    Nice to See your Response.

    I tried to Use both the Components TppVariable, TppDBCalc.
    I already have TppDBCalc(say DBCalc1) for my Balance column.
    So I used one more variable in Header Band of each page after page one
    & set ResetType == veGroupEnd,
    CalcType == eTraversal,
    Calc Component == DBCalc1.

    This may not seems to be sufficient as My Report is not satisfactory.
    My "Balance brought from Prev Page" Record is having this value\total
    correct at Alternate pages only and not on each page
    At every wrong page it is showing sum of n-1 records (i.e. value 60 in
    previous referenced example. Hope you will understand it well.)

    Some where I am missing some thing. What it can be ?
    Please guide me to achieve my goal. I near to it but seems some silly
    mistake some where.

    Million Thanks.

    Hi Sheetal,

    Take a look at the following example on how this should be done.

    Hi Nico,

    Thanks for all concern.

    Your example helped me a lot but I am still facing some problem

    I did the same thing but I have added my varible in Group Header. So
    there was a problem. Then I added Header To my Report and it worked well
    for first report.
    But for successive reports it show First line as summation and not the
    last record of first page
    Please look into this, if you at all can help me to trace out my problem.

    Also Can you find out any reason, How any variable gets affected like
    wise if you add\remove Header band.

    Thanking you.

    Hi Sheetal,

    I'm not clear about what you are trying to accomplish. If you are trying to
    keep a running total for each page, you should use the page header and page
    footer bands. If you are trying to keep totals for groups, you can use the
    Group Header and Group Footer bands and DBCalc components.

    Which version of ReportBuilder and Delphi are you using? Are you able to
    recreate the behavior you describe in a simple example I could run on my
    machine?
