Assuming you are using a database this looks like a request
for SQL not Pascal!

Use a TQuery to get the info from the tables into a Fields structure then populate
a formwith the result(or use data aware controls - RTFM)

Either sum the above values obtained from the TFields or from the form (use String
to number conversion routines - see help for a list) OR Use another TQuery and get
SQL to do it in a TQuery (SELECT A+B+C+D from... )

Assuming you put the Partner into a combo box or list box you canget the number of
items from that to detect whether you need to do the summation
if myComboBox.Items.Count >1 then
// sum items here as above

As above

And again

Could be done programmatically or in SQL via a TQuery - see top point.

Either use write[ln] or a QuickReport component...
