Hi Richard (and others),

I was cheering too early in my previous answer ;)
The query is only apparently giving a sum: in effect the value in each
raw is just one of the values of raws having the same 'titolo'.

What I had in mind was the possibility to achieve the same result I used
to get (quite a few years back) in DBIII, when printing data and setting
subtotals for same items. But this is history ......

Anyway, thanks again for attention and help.
Regards,
Ennio.
