Bernie, have you examined the data via the edit command "edit creditdate,creditamount from credits whe Creditdate between 3/1/2008 and 3/31/2008 Find the aggregate of creditamount and see if it equals the amount that you are expecting. If the data is correct then project a temp table with zero rows. Project temporary tCREDITS from credits using creditdate,creditamount whe limit = 0 Then insert rows from CERDITS via the select and group by option. INSERT INTO tCREDITS (creditdate,creditamount) + SELECT creditdate,creditamount FROM CREDITS + where Creditdate between 3/1/2008 and 3/31/2008 + group by CreditDate The results in tCREDITS should be exactly what you want.
