Thank you again James, that was exactly what was needed!  Now it's ok.
Where will I find the article you mentioned on Date Functions?  Can you
send the url?  To answer your question about which quarter reports are run,
right now this reporting is in the beginning stages.  Several months ago I
got all the data together and pulled together basic reporting to capture
last year thru QTR 1 of this year.  Now I'm making these revisions to the
database, since I just had to pull QTR 2 data this week and want to
streamline the whole process.  Next step will be putting something together
for the users to input their data directly into the system, as right now
I'm importing all their excel spreadsheets into a master table and coding
the data, etc. to get it to report right.  But that's another story . . .
:) one book at a time!  Thank you, I would really like to read your
article, thanks, Cathy

Cathy,

The reason you are getting so many records is because it is pulling in each
unique DateIssue field for you.  In order to get what you are looking for,
change your first field to:

YearIssue: Datepart("yyyy",[DateIssue])

This will pull only the year part of the date and should allow you to get
only one instance of each quarter per year.

Don't be afraid to use the date functions and formulas in your header
either.  When you run the report, do you run it for the previous quarter or
do you run it for different quarters?  If its the previous quarter, check
out my article on Date Functions in  the ABC archives.  You could actually
set it up to automatically pull the dates so your users wouldn't have to
enter them.

If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

James
