Passing subreport value to mainreport crystal

Ok, I managed to do it by using 6(SIX) formulas, two on the report's top to declare and initialize variables to 0(zero) two for each sub report to compute the sums and finally two in the main report to actually display the values :-)

Anyway we reworked the report(thanks to one of our SQLServer masters) and now almost all the complexities(sub reps, shared variables) are gone! woooooooo hooooooooooo! :-)

I am, however, flabberghasted at the fact I received no answers whatsoever to any of my questions, some of which remain - however - opened, because I still can't understand for example why, oh why!?!, Crystal would crash or simply vanish without leaving any hint at what may have happened. There's no error log I'm aware of and no apparent sign in the event viewer, nothing that would explain such weirdos.

Thank you all the same for your time,

Andrew

I do not believe that you need to specify the subreport name. Since this is a shared variable I believe that you should be able to create a formula that uses the same name as the shared variables. So in this case @mytotal look like the following:

WhilePrintingRecords; 
Shared NumberVar totalwfs;
Shared NumberVar noreviewwfs;

totalwfs - noreviewwfs;

Hope it helps.

EDIT: This is an edit in response to the comments. Try the below to see if you are able to pull the value of totalwfs by itself without the subtraction.

Shared NumberVar totalwfs;

totalwfs;
