HELP ! Carried Foward / Brought Forward

In my detail section I would like to have a report that has a "Carried
Forward" amount as a total for the page and then on the next page header the
value as "Brought Foward" this will total up at the page footer and be
"Carried Forward" to next page and so on until the last page where "Carried
Foward" wouldn't be shown but "Brought Foward" would.
Does anyone have any expamples as this a pretty common requirement for
finacial reports / billing. I have been racking my brains over this one but
can't get it to work.
Regards
Toby.You can get the Carried Forward by doing an aggregate of report items in the
page footer (=Sum(ReportItems!SalesTextbox.Value))
However, there's currently no way to get the Brought Forward since the
Previous function is not yet supported in the page header/footer.

previous value by doing something like this:
public shared Previous as integer
public function Carry(value as integer)
Previous = value
Carry = value
end function
Textbox in page footer: =Code.Carry(Sum(ReportItems!textbox7.Value))
Textbox in page header: =Code.Previous
Since the custom code/classes get instantiated separately for each page
request, you'd have to do this as a shared member variable.
And due to the shared member variable, if two people run the report at the
same time, it would smash the Previous counter.
But if you're really motivated, you could make the Previous shared member
variable a hash table based on user id, at which point you'd only have
problems if the same user ran the report more than once at the same time.
Textbox in page footer: =Code.SetCarry(Sum(ReportItems!textbox7.Value),
User.UserID)
Textbox in page header: =Code.GetCarry(User.UserID)
