If you use it in a Group Footer, it will automatically limit the Sum to the
values that apply to that Group. You will, of course, have to use the
Report's Sorting and Grouping to set up the Groups.
An alternative would be to use the DSum domain aggregate function if it
isn't feasible to set up Groups, or embed Subreports based on a Totals
Query.
