I have set up a database for sales and have tried to make a script that will
make a report for all sales the previous month. Everything I try seems to
fail. Please help me if you can or send me in the right direction to find a
solution.
Thanks

To obtain a group of information, such as a date then you might do a date
search in a date field

Do A FIND
Enter Date Range 6-1-04...6-30-04
Hit the Enter Key or reselect FIND
Results for that time period will be displayed.

Always use the 3-dots between dates for date range searching


I assume you have a summary screen that makes reporting easy for single or
multiple FIND request.

TYPES OF REPORTS That I usually generate are
For the most simple reports.....
HEADER
BODY
FOOTER

---------------------

For Totals  in a very simple format
HEADER
BODY
TRAILING   (Use Summary To Calculate)
FOOTER

----------------------

If you are looking for superior reporting that includes individual amounts,
sub-totals and then grand totals that is a bit more tricky, but after one
learns how, piece of cake.

HEADER
BODY
SORT BY   ( Use Summary To Calculate  )
TRAILING   (Use the same fields as (sort by) , just bring them into the
category
FOOTER
This you might need help on.    I think it took me several months of
hammering away at this before I figured out how.   Now I can do complex
reporting through duplication within a minute or two.     Pays to learn.
-----------------------

Hope this helps.

What do you mean by "fail"?? What isn't working and what have you tried?
