BC30451 Name 'whatever' is not declared

I'm migrating a report from access to RS. What I want to do is for each
group header, have a formula that shows that group's total as a % of
the grand total. Example:
Name Sales % of total
Tom 5 25%
Joe 15 75%
so, in my table, I have a table footer with a textbox "textbox1" with
the formula
=SUM(Fields!SALES.Value )
and in the group1 header, i have a textbox "textbox2". For the formula,
i put:
=Fields!SALES.Value / textbox1.value
This works in access, but apparently not in RS (?). I get an error
message that textbox1 is not declared. It seems like I must be missing
something simple here. Any Ideas? I could put subqueries in my dataset
I suppose, but that seems like an awfully long way around to do what I
need. Thanks in advance...
EricWill ReportItems!Textbox1.Value work?

What's the deal with the expression builder? It seems like it would
have some functions and/or controls listed in there to give the user
some clue as to their verbiage...
thanks again..
