Default Calculations in Form footers

I am a continuous for that I am using to whereby I calculated totals in the
footer section. It works fine until I try to sum on a calculated textbox from
detail section.

I have an "Expense" field, a "Markup%" field, then a calculated field that
multiplies these two

I can sum the "Expense" amount field, but not the calculated markup field.

Should I be able to or is this somethign that just won't work in a footer?

Thanks.

Carry out the multiplication again in the footer control ... don't try
pointing at the calculated control.

The value of your footer control might look something like (untested):

=Sum([YourExpenseField]*[YourMarkupField])

Good luck!
