Please clear your problem a bit more.

Is it a tabular form or not?
Are you selecting number filed from lov (i.e. rate, amount, price) and want total?

LOVs are for selecting one and only one item.

If you want to select more than one item then create a block based on the table that your wish to list along with a check-box. Put them on a new canvas. When the user presses the LOV button, display this canvas (modal) and let them select the various check-boxes. Have an 'ok' and 'cancel' button on this modal pop-up canvas. When they press 'ok', scan the block and tally the records that have been checked.

Read the recend message http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/45295/67467/ where we discuss globals and non-database blocks and fields.

What you need is a non-database block (CTRL) with a SUM field. This field is displayed one time on your canvas, probably underneath the price column of your multi-line display. In the pre-query trigger of the database block you initialise :CTRL.SUM to zero. Then in the post-query trigger you accumulate the price :CTRL.SUM := :CTRL.SUM + :BLK.PRICE

For new records you are going to have to accumulate the new price BUT you will have to make sure that if you cursor up and down the list that you don't accumulate it each time. Perhaps add a non-database field to the multi-record block eg SUMMED CHAR(1) intitial value 'N' then when you accumulate you set it to 'Y'. Then test that it is 'N' before doing the sum.

Good call subba lakshmi, I have spend too much time migrating systems versus writing new ones. Calculation became available with Forms 6.
