is totalamount a record field?  If so, CR is doing it the way it was designed, it is reading the value from the first record in the group header (first record it sees) and the last in the footer.  If you want the sum of the values use the Aggregate function SUM.  The easy way is to have CR create it using the sigma (the funny E) in the tool bar and then to copy it to the header.  This will sum up all the values in the group and display them.

i also want to add, that i am making a report to show the tax rate, base tax and witholding tax of each company. that's why i group them and place them as a parameter . i am using accpac(an accounting software)

so i have 2 parameters, vendor name and date.

so my group header 5 is

gh5 (apibd.cntline) contains the field: @date,TXAUDD.TBASEAMT,@rate, TXAUDD.HCURNTAX

then i used running total to get the total of TBASEAMT AND HCURNTAX. but instead of getting the total i only get the first record.

and also what do i need to place to the section expert.
what do i need to add.

thanks
