Marc,

I'm assuming that the output for this is a report, perhaps that's where I miss the boat. However, if we're out to sea, rather than "up the creek", then this will still work in the form of a summary report. Just group by HAWB, and sum in the report. Admittedly, this may not be the best solution, but, hey, if it works...well, at least we've got a paddle.

Still no CD here at the office. Actually, I got that quote out of an ancient document, my high school year book. I added the bit about C/S students, because it seemed to apply. I had a professor that took two weeks simply defining things in my first class in second year C/S.

Best wishes,

George
