No. I can see it is very simply the fact that VFP "counts" every record, even those that don't have the field that need to be summarized. The only solution I can think of, so far, is to create a third cursor (outside of the report) and use fields of this cursor to show totals. But this is, IMO, kludgy. I would be surprised if VFPT didn't think of this. So I hope I am missing something simple and maybe someone will point me in the right direction.
Thank you.
