Works great Cathy, thanks, this is the first time I've ever used the "On exit" option. Now I can comment out the method code that use to do the counting prior.

Create a report variable called rnTattoos, set the value to store to ZERO, the calculate option to SUM, and the Reset option to End of Report. In the On Exit Expression of the Data Group Footer band, enter the following: _VFP.SetVar('rnTattoos', rnTattoos + 1) Use the rnTattoos variable in your report summary to see the total count. This works because the report variable creates a placeholder for you to manipulate. Because you tell the report variable to SUM and what you tell it to sum is zero, VFP never actually alters the variable. You then manipulate it in the Data Group Footer by adding 1 with the _VFP.SetVar() function, thus counting each data group.
