The output should basically be a cross tab without the dates being used as part 
of the selection.  the where statement
in the SQL would be similar to WHERE (((If(DateC >= Datea, DateC, Datea)) I 
basically want to use the datec if datec is >= datea else use the default datea 
between dateb.  Is it possible to do a (Where IF(..then else.)?

fielda  fieldb  fieldc  fieldd
1               data1           1               00.00
1               data2           34              15.00
2               data1           13              16.00
2               data2           35              850.00

couldn't you do a sub select there like (Select count(distinct fc)
>From table Where date  = '1/31/2004') as dailyamount
