I poked around a bit but didn't know what to look for... > It looks like eliminating some rows earlier may help here: I implemented your latest version of the query and it actually returned in the same amount of time as your version previous, to the second. But, it is a huge improvement over the way it was when you began offering help, for which I'm grateful. It seems my best permanent solution will be to create a separate db and use DTS to bring the data I need for my reports into a more concise, report-friendly structure, and with your improvements in place the current system will be workable while I work on implementing that.
