Ravi,

I'm still unclear on one thing ... Is each different "service" a different record in the table, or do you have several different service fields in the record? IOW, are you totally the number of records to find the number of services or are you checking several fields and counting how many are not zero?

I therefore created a report variable "numofservs", which should also behave the same as the previous two. However, it keeps doing a count like that of the variable numbill - which just counts the clients.
