Kevin, you're on the right track. The way to do this is to run weekly reports,
using the directory report to get info for each client for that week's period. You
can set SUBDIR levels if you need to drill futher than one level.
If you employ cache files, you can create a cache file at the same time as you
generate your weekly reports, then run a report on all the cache files each week
(or day, month, etc.) to get a cumulative total.
This is the only way Analog can produce this. This doesn't do "cross-reference"
reports (FAQ item B18 in 4.10 or realier or B19 in 4.11). If you want to run them
side-by-side you could probably produce OUTPUT COMPUTER reports in CSV and pump
the results into a spreadsheet, pulling up running summaries, etc. This would take
a little scripting and soem spreadsheet magic to work smoothly but shouldn't be
that hard.
Good luck,
