No. You DON'T want this field stored in any table.
Calculate it on demand, and display the calculated field. To create a Totals
query add the table to the grid, and click the Greek Sigma icon (looks like a
sideways M). Group By the Debtor field, Sum the debt.

Use a criterion of

on the yes/no field in the query.

Use the Report's Sorting and Grouping dialog to group by debtor. Make the
section header and footer visible; put the debtor information in the header
and set the footer to force a new page.

Works like a charm -- my only problem is if I include that it wont let
me include the initial debt amount -- only the total.

The grouping is no problem, then I put the information in the page
header and it only listed one record on the page -- so far so
good...then I put a page break in the footer and It doesnt make more
pages although there is one more record.
Thanks for the help!
