John,
IMHO best done with SQL sum. Normally you update or revert a child grid when you change parent, right (sometimes not-but assume right) ?
Scenario then goes on like this :
-SQL sum each time parent changes and place value in textbox
-Then in any field effecting total add gotfocus-lostfocus code that would just add the difference to textbox.value (textbox.value = textbox.value + (LostfocusValue-GotfocusValue))
This way you prevent performance degrade if you have many child records + you don't cause the rec pointer move that might cause side effects.
