Issue with Crystal Reports Summary Formula

All:

I am getting back working with Crystal reports and have a report as follows:

Date     Media Type     Records

2-11     CO-OP               4

2-11     FAX                    10

2-11     Mail                   5

2-11     Phone               120

3-11     Fax                    15

3-11     Phone               25

4-11     CO-OP               5

4-11     FAX                    12

4-11     Mail                    10

4-11     Phone               100

The report that we have in place now is a Excel report that we cut and past monthly the data and then there are all kind of formulas on top of the report in the header area that get summarized.

I am now working on the totals for the report.  I have a formula to create a summary of all the Media Records.  See below:

Total                      306         

        CO-OP

        FAX

         Mail

        Phone

I then created another variable that I would use to create a summary total for records that were CO-OP.  I declared a formula field called Initialize Variables and put it in the report header.  I will eventually hide / suppress it from view.

The Initialize Variable is as follows:

Global Numbervar Total_Coop :=0

I then have a formula to create the summary totals.  It looks as follows:

  If {Command.APP_MEDIA_CD} = "CO-OP" then

   Numbervar Total_Coop = Total_Coop + 1

I kept the formula simple to just add the number or records I find to check myself.

But the formula is coming back as a boolean value of False.

I have the data again in the report header, with no groupings, etc.  It is a simple dump and summarize report and I need to keep it in the same format.

So my question is, what am I doing wrong with this?

I would love to hear from someone to let me know what I did wrong.

Thanks ahead of time for your assistance.
