I created a Sales Commission Report using VFP's Report Designer.

It has 5 breaks (bands), major to minor: salesman, date, order#, shipment#, detail line.

I feed the report a single cursor (not a requirement, just seems to be the way to do it) which has loads of data at the detail level and some data (including numeric values) at the group (shipment#, order#) level.

Some of the expressions I print in report footers are not sums of detail amounts but rather amounts that belong to break level data. F'r instance, the cursor has a column that is a shipment amount and I display that for the first time in the shipment# footer band.

It is easy enough to display this at the Shipment# level, but when I go to SUM it for the next level, the Order# level, it is all screwed up, as it seems to add it up once for every detail line, not once per shipment, even though it is a figure that does not belong to the detail level.

If I have been clear, what do I do to correctly calculate and display a SUM of non-detail numbers?
