I do not think it will calculate a total anyway, it would just give the 
maximum (if it worked... :)

Querycalc is known to be very buggy, and we are thinking about moving it out 
of Lire... But we haven't decided on the replacement yet, i.e. there is no 
start on development of the replacement. At this moment we want to replace it 
by SQL, but that will not be finished for another few months... (the DLF has 
to be stored in a repository that can except SQL queries (e.g. MySQL, but 
also a file system)...

I think the best thing you can do, is look at the code used in the other
reports... which often use code not using querycalc...

Have you tried my replacement? Did that do want you wanted to do?
