Description
This statement calculates the maximum of the visible records for the current field. The current field may be numeric, text, or a date field. If the database contains summary records, this statement will calculate the sub-maximum for each summary record, along with an overall maximum for the whole database. If there are not any summary records in the database, one will be added at the end of the database and the overall maximum will be calculated and placed into the summary record.
