Trying sum in the report page footer
I have two subreports on a main report. Each of them have a numberin a field in the report footer section of the subreport.
But then in the main report page footer I am trying to sum those two subreport values. I can't get anything to show up in the field on the main report.
I've tried this but it doesn't work:
=[Reports]![subrptAuditInd exPageExte rior]![txt SumExterio r] + [Reports]![subrptAuditInde xPageInter ior]![txtS umInterior ]
???

This solution is only available to members.

Clarifying:
Assume reports mr, r1, r2
r1 has control fr1
r2 has control fr2
mr has control fmr
, control c1 which is a sub report control of Source object Report.r1
, control c2 which is a sub report control of Source object Report.r2
mr
fmr
c1
r1: fr1
c2
r2: fr2
Control source of fmr
= Reports!mr!c1.Report!fr1 + Reports!mr!c2.Report!fr2
or
= Report.c1!fr1 + Report.c2!fr2
or
= c1!fr1 + c2!fr2
or
= c1.Report!fr1 + c2.Report!fr2
The first reference is used as a complete path from Open reports collection.
If the setting is like:
mr
fmr
r1
r1: fr1
r2
r2: fr2
Where the sub report control name takes the name of its source object, then replace the c1 and c2 with r1 and r2 respectively in above code.
