Hi all, I need to create a year to date report with individual  Subsummary Report (ala filemaker / others?) headings for each month. So, I’m curious the best way to approach this for performance speed and flexibility etc. -  I can do 1 sql query for the whole year’s data - or 12 individual queries... probably best to do 1 big year sql query - but I’m not sure how to split things up with loops etc. each summary month heading will need to show: - total month count of records - special counts within each month - more stuff - also the record data like: JAN - total record count = 50 special count = 3 data record 1 data record 2 data record 3 FEB - total record count = 47 special count = 4 data record 1 data record 2 data record 3 etc. Q: is it better to do 1 year find or 12 month queries - is 1 big find faster? Q: with one year find - how do I setup 12 loops to simulate summaries? do i just loop through the full set and only display if record is in month 1 or 2 or whatever? If there are any links describing this process - that would be great any help would be appreciated... -- Thanks - Dave
