Math Functions

I guess it doesn't really matter, really. The whole page is buffered in
IIS, so it could go anywhere. I personally prefer to keep all the code in
one place. So if I were doing it, I'd create the variable just before the
loop itself. That way it doesn't get lost in the shuffle.

Best regards,
Chris

Should I insert the code for the variable in the programming for the table in the body of the page, or insert the variable in the head of the page where the recordset is created? THANKS!

Presumably, the column of payments is coming from a looped recordset?

If this is the case, create a variable that simply adds the current value to
the previous value as it loops through the recordset. Something like
(pseudocode):

<%
myValue=0
While not recordset.EOF
myValue = myValue + recordset.field
Wend
%>

Then display myValue at the end of it all.

Best regards,
Chris
