I have a subtotal field in a subreport that is being passed to the main report and added to another subtotal field from a second subreport.  How do you zero out the subtotal field once its been "Shared"?  The problem I am having is it "remembers" the value that was in the field so when I get a blank section, it passes the value that was in the filed before the blank section came along.  Help, PLEASE.

You will need to decide where you want it to be 'Reset', but once you know that, the rest is a piece of cake.
 
Create a formula that sets your shared variable to 0, like:
shared numbervar aVar :=0;
""       // I put this here so that nothing displays on the report.
 
Now just drag the formula onto the report where you want the variable reset.
 
Hope this helps

Thanks, it did indeed help much.  I figured that it had to go after the catpture of the variable, after a bit of moving and testing.  Thanks.  ;)
