Those stars generally represent numerical overflow. i.e. you tried to cram 5 digits into a N(4) field, or something of the sort. I would recommend adjusting the size of the field where the result winds up to avoid this situation. Not sure how to browse for it, though.

calc sum(field1 / field2) to lnTotal in otherCursor
