In Forms5.0 there is the concept of summation items which sum the values in a given column. This does not exist in Forms4.5. Is there any way for me to simulate the summation functionality in Forms4.5?

For example, I have a block that looks like:

Field1 Field2 Field3
------ ----- ------

  0       1      2
  2       2      3


----------------------


  2       3      5      <-- Total

Note, it is not enough just to total the values as the block is being populated (with a post-query trigger, for example) since the total should be updated whenever the user updates a value in one of the fields.

Thanks!
