subreport return value not working

This is the subreport variable I want returned.

 

This is the return valriable I want to print on the main report.

Here's the subreport return value.

 

Now I 'Finish' , compile and the return value I just added gets removed. I'm assuming that it does this because it doesn't like something but I have tried every iteration I can think of. I've tried all the different examples I can find, nothig works.

Can you please point me in the right direction?

Don

Ok, I guess I didn't provide enough info. I'm using studio 5.3.0 I'm working on a quote report, so it has the usual header type detail (main report) and a bunch of part detail with an extended total (subreport). The extended total is summed in the variable mech_tot. I want to pass this back to the main report and pick it up as sr_merh_tot. When I define the return value as discribed above it takes it but once I compile the main report the return value item is gone. I'm assuming it has something to do with the way I have it configured but I have thied every combination I can thing of.

Thanks for the reply!
