Wayne,
I've never found the "whileprintingrecords" to make a significant difference. Seagate suggest using it wherever possilbe to limit confusion of when things should be evaluated.

Cool! The sort is to blame! Thanks, Mike and Olwyn.
I had added a sort on porel.DueDate in V4 to correct the out of sequence
releases everyone gripes about. For some reason, removing the sort made
the total correct again.
A couple of the calculated fields the total uses have a
WhilePrintingRecords in them. From what the help file says, this is
supposed to cause the field to be evaluated for every record, even if the
calculated field does not print on the report? Maybe since the sort
requires an extra pass through the data before printing, it throws off the
logic? I don't know enough about Crystal to say if it's a bug or a
feature. If Troy or any other Crystal experts know, I'd be curious to hear.
As for the releases... they're now printing in correct date order even
without the sort (this is 5.00.332) Maybe they fixed Vantage so it sorts
them prior to exporting?
