Joan,

If you haven't done so, you may want to look at the MTHACT files, which is
not an inexpensive ($1,000 or so) "enhancement" to COM. It won't help your
past history, but is it a good "data-warehouse" for your sales history. If
you archive the file at each month end you can build some very easy and
cheap Excel Queries and PivotTables across them to get hundreds of reports.
My management team uses them exclusively. A lot cheaper than Analytics
(though not as powerful), and you can link to your sales history and item
balance information as needed.

Patrick

Thanks, Bob.

YABPREP wouldn't work - the sales VP needs YTD by customer so he can do
analysis by industry, by sales reps, etc. etc. As for FRx or Crystal Reports
- no $$, besides I already have IWP.

Joan, You might consider an inquiry against the sales accounts in IFM's
ledger summary ( YABPREP) file or an FRx report. IFM balances are updated
automatically when you create an invoice. As long as you keep your invoicing
current with your shipments this will give you the info that you need.

If you are looking for COM-based report you might consider Crystal Reports.
I have been experimenting with this product and have found that it can
produce attractive reports without impacting AS/400 performance
