[AccessD] Summing items in subreports

Because of the number of times that reports and other queries reference the
invoice totals but not the detail, I always put an invoice total field in
the header record.  It's a bit more effort to make sure the total field is
always correct, but saves a lot of fussing later.  This is particularly
helpful when an invoice might have several different types of detail
records (labour, materials, services, taxes) etc.
