Hello,
I am using Forms 4.5 and need to display a Sum column on several fields in a record block. I tried to accumulate the value of the columns in a Post_Query trigger, but that does not pull all records initially. In later versions of form you can use block property - query all records - YES - but I can not find anything for forms 4.5 that will do this. Only other solution I can come up with is to actually write a separate select sum() for each field total I need.
Any suggestions or comments are appreciated.
Thanks.
Wade

Don't do the sum in the post-query because it does it for each record. You want something that happens just once for the block. Try adding the 'select sum() from table' in a Key-Exeqry triggers associated with your block. In the trigger have the execute_query statement which you need to do the query, followed by the 'sum' statements to populate the other items.
