When a summary result of several fields, in a table,with numbers, is 
used in a subsequent calc the result is as expected. (Summary + x = 
answer)
If the summary is of a field that are all empty the result is OK the 
summary is Zero and the calc returns the other value.(Summary + x = x)

If the summary is of a field where there are actually NO RECORDS, in 
the table, then the result does not calculate at all even though the 
other term has a value. (Summary + x = nothing )Just a blank field is 
displayed

Is there an explanation or is that the way it is? :-?
