You need a crosstab query. Access has a wizard to help you create one. You
may need to give it a couple attempts; however, a crosstab query will produce the data like you want to see it. There is one catch: Access will probably create the column headings across alphabetically isn't of by month and year. You can over ride this by specifying the column headings. Allen Browne has a lot of info on crosstab queries. http://allenbrowne.com/ser-67.html -- Jerry Whittle, Microsoft Access MVP Light. Strong. Cheap. Pick two. Keith Bontrager - Bicycle Builder.
