Thanks everyone...

I find my problem often time is terminology.  I am a FileMaker database
developer and know the terminology of that database.  I love MySQL,
especially it's speed, but find crossing over sometimes difficult because
the terminology is different and so I will do a search at MySQL on the
terminology I'm used to, which in this case was "summarize by"and found
nothing.  Then I have to bother you guys to find out what the correct
verbage is.

Thank you for your patience!

Doug
