Thanks, I already have too many reports running. There are 18 websites. I
run a daily for each site and a monthly/month-to-date report. For the daily,
I also generate a text-only (computer-output) report so it can be copied
into excel spreadsheets and access databases. Furthermore, for each site, we
have some shared servers running (e.g. all sites use
forums.consumerreview.com to host webcrossing message boards and
gallery.consumerreview.com to host photo galleries)--so we have to manually
copy and paste page view numbers from those reports, for each site, into the
master spreadsheet.
It looks like I need to write my own "consolidating" script to produce the
kind of combined reports we really need.

why don't you just run a separate report for spiders-only? might even be
easier to read.
