I'm designing a simple Crystal Report in VS.NET 2005. I am using an XML file as my datasource . I am trying to sum my Week To Date sales column. But whenever, I add "running total", to the Group Footer, I don't get "Sum" in the dropdown. I get maximum, minimum, count, distinct count, etc...everything except plain-jane "Sum". Then, when i try to add an unbound number field and do sum({REportTable.WTDSales}), i get

"There is an error in this formula. Save it anyway?" I click no and get "A number field or a currency amount field is required here".

I also tried to attach a schema with the the WTD Sales field defined as decimal. Still. no dice.

Perhaps related is when I try to insert a graph using the Chart expert, the OK button is grayed out. Is this a licensing thing?


Any idea what could be the problem?
