Filepro's report mechanism can get in the way if you
try to keep track of totals manually.  I would suggest
that you instead use the "tot" command.

Near the top of your code, before any of the @wbrk
processing just have the calculation for the values as
follows:

ja(12,.2)=tot(3)    ' gross sales
jb(12,.2)=tot(3-4)   ' gross profit
end                  ' end processing

(This would assume that field 3 would be your gross
sales and field 4 whould be your expenses)

If you do it this way then ja and jb will
automatically have the correct values when it reaches
the @wbrk processing.

Good Luck.
