oops...never mind. Original reply misunderstood the problem

>>frt_chg? What is it? A field from your cursor or report variable? If this is a field from your cursor what is the value in it for each record? If it is the total value for the group that just porint the value, do not put any calculations on it.
>>(I suspect that you have 100 in frt_chg in both records, that's why you get 600 as Grand total)

>>>If I display the misc_chg, sales_tax and frt_chg fields on the form for testing purposes, they're correct (just $100 for frt). But why is it adding those lines once for each line of detail, even though it's displaying correctly on the form? I want to add my subtotal, then each of the other three displayed items (misc, tax, frt) to get my grand total.
