Ok.. this is my first stab at using Shared variables, and not working great so  far. Here is what I have so far. A report and a subreport .. all working fine here. I have a subtotal number in the sub report I need to use in the main report. In the sub report I created the following formula:

Shared NumberVar SubAvgPerformed;
SubAvgPerformed :={@AvgPerformed};

Then in the main report I have the following formula:

Shared NumberVar SubAvgPerformed;
AvgPerformed;

Currently I am just placing the formula on the main report to make sure
the value is carrying over, but all I am getting is zeros.

What might I be doing wrong?

Thanks,
Flanman

Sorry that was a typo. In the actual formula I have SubAvgPerformed.

In the main report the subreport value and shared value are both in the same group footer section.
