Hi Chiang,

Write a custom method which receives field name as parmeter and returns total of a column. In this method use

For Example
*-- Method GetSum
LPARAMETER tcfield
LOCAL lcalias
LOCAL ARRAY lasum[1]
lcalias = Thisform.grditem.recordsource
SELECT SUM(tcfield);
FROM &lcalias;
INTO ARRAY lasum

RETURN lasum[1]

Hope will help

Bye
Jayesh
