Hi Doug,

Thanks. I'm wondering if the generated statement would be correct then.
In my case the subtable should really be like a derived table. Anyway, if the SQL would not be correct I'll try to adjust it and hopefully I would finally be able to produce this report.

Hopefully the rest of the reports would be easier.
