  One more question DEN,
  
  I have set the variables in the OnAfterPrint event of a group band. When ever I use that variable in a ReportSummary band it terminats the program. What reason why? all the other variables work including the system variables, but the one that I set using the SET('VARIABLENAME',VALUE) dont work at all.
  
  Thansk again.

  Retrn is a Booleen field in the following.
  
  
  procedure GroupFooter1OnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);
  begin
  if <frxDBDatasetSalesSummary."Return"> = False then Set('SalesTotal',10);
  
  if <frxDBDatasetSalesSummary."Return"> = True then Set('ReturnTotal',10);
  
  if <frxDBDatasetSalesSummary."Return"> = False then SHowmessage(FloattoStr(<SalesTotal>));
  
  if <frxDBDatasetSalesSummary."Return"> = True then SHowmessage(FloattoStr(<ReturnTotal>));
  end;
  
  The above executes and shows the correct info. However in the ReportSummary Band I put and memo on it and in the memo I have [<SalesTotals>]. When the report reaches this expression is terminates indicating that there is somthing wrong with it.
  
  Let me knoe if I am doing something wrong

  Try write [SalesTotals] in memo.
