robotacha, you are correct. in order to use the values from a sub report you need to create a shared variable.
SUB REPORT
whileprintingrecords;
SHARED Numbervar X := x + {field};
MAIN
whileprintingrecords;
SHARED Numbervar X;
X
Shared variables can not be suppressed.
Make the font white and the field very small.
They must be placed below the subreport to retrieve the value.
then you need to take the value from the subreport and calculate using manual running totals
MANUAL RUNNING TOTALS
RESET
The reset formula is placed in a group header report header to reset the summary to zero for each unique record it groups by.
whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar X := 0;
CALCULATION
The calculation is placed adjacent to the field or formula that is being calculated.
(if there are duplicate values; create a group on the field that is being calculated on. If there are not duplicate records, the detail section is used.
whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar X := x + {field}; ( or formula)
DISPLAY
The display is the sum of what is being calculated. This is placed in a group, page or report footer. (generally placed in the group footer of the group header where the reset is placed.)
whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar X;
X
