I'm looking for a way to demonstrate a subtotal of a numeric sub-form column
while entering data.  To help explain, I'll use the animals/people/thing
example odb file referenced in 
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Base-form-table-grid-new-record-on-top-td3314448.html#a3320872
this thread .

The table structure in the example includes and intermediary P_T used to
cope with a many to many between Persons and Things. But let's add a numeric
column to the P_T table that would allow us to track multiples of a single
thing. So, for example instead of noting that a person has a single hammer,
and an axe, we could track instead that they have 34 hammers and 16 axes.

What I want to do is add a subtotal by record on the form (doesn't matter if
I need to refresh - that's OK).  Is there a way to query WHERE record =
current?  If so, it seems I could put that on the form.

For the sake of further explanation, I have a PDF file that tells me at the
top that a person has 400 things (e.g. 34 hammers, 16 axes, etc.). And then
I have to manually search through the PDF to find out what those things are. 
I'd like the form to help calculate things for me so when I make an entry
(and push "refresh") I can see that I've so far entered 345 things for this
person (better said, this one record) and need to keep searching for the
other 65.  Make sense?
