In a visual studio 2010 vb.net desktop application that is using crystal reports, I am trying to determine how to reset a report summary amount back to zero. I want to change the report summary amount back to zero since the users keep running the same report without different parameters while the vb.net 2010 desktop application is still open.
I want to reset the value back to zero, since the summary total keeps changing regardless of how many times the same parameters are passed into the crystal report. I know that the problem is not in the vb.net application that passes the data to the crystal report since I have verified the sql in the associated Access 2013 database that comes up with the same result. Basically the vb.net desk app does a dataset fill command that passes the information to the crystal report. The crystal report then access the Access 2013 database from the applicable tables.
I would like to be able to edit the report summary value without creating a new summary value on the report. The following links show you how to set the summary values to zero when the summary amount is created:

2. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19149565/reset-variable-for-each-group-crystal-reports
Thus would you tell me and/or point me to link(s) urls that will tell me the following:
1. How to reset the existing report summary total back to zero?
2. If you think I have there is a different solution on how to solve my problem, would you tell me what the resolution is and how would I setup your resolution using crystal reports that is connected to visual studio 2010?
