I have created a manual running total that uses a compare to the previous record to know when to increment and it works fine from Crystal 11, however I need to load it into an application whose Crystal viewer doesn't like that comparison when it is the first record (no previous record to compare so it does nothing on the first record thus the running total is off by 1).  I added code to the total that is adding up in the running total field that if the record number is 1 then . . . but this doesn't seem to help (again, it works fine in Crystal but not after I load it into the application). 

 Thank you for your response.  I did that but it still is adding 1 in the footer.  I have the running total adding just fine.  The last record shows a number of 36 in the running total field which is the correct number, but when I put the display in the report footer, it adds one and shows 37.  It does this on 2 out of  16 columns and those two columns both have a number in the first record that should be included in the running total (and is included in the running total on the detail line) but it increments by one in the report footer.  My question is:  Why is it incrementing in the footer and what can I do to prevent that from happening?
