Help! Showing Subreport field value in the main report

[mromyn]

Hi -

I need to show/calculate a value from a Subreport in the main report.

I have a budget total (rptBudgetAmount) in the main report. In the sub
report I have total actual costs (srptTotal). I need to have the field
rptBudgetAmount - srptTotal display in the main report.

I can get this to calculate in the subreport. But I need to have it in the
main report so I can total this value for the end of the main report.

I feel like I have tried everything -- any suggestions or example would be
very helpful.

Thanks!
Mel
