Are you supressing sections, fields, or zeroing-out null values? If so, you
might want to consider using running totals, and doing conditional
calculations with it. Subtotals and grand totals sum EVERY detail record
(including duplicates!), whether or not they actually appear on the report.
If you have (conditionally) supressed sections, you may be seeing totals
that include fields in the supressed sections. Use running totals instead,
setting the conditional calculation to perform only when the section is
visible (that is, make the conditional calculation formula the "opposite" of
your supression formula).
