Subject: RE: Month-end queries

We use a little trick here with an sql view with lots of dates in it
based on today (we create last month, period, etc) then we just join
the query to it and the dates adjust automatically. The nice part is
with 5.4 and better there are some new built in sql functions - like
lastday that gives you the EOM dates for the month.

If you are interested let me know and I can send you the source for it.

Subject: Month-end queries

At the end of every month, I change the record selection date range in
15 or so queries to reflect the current month in order to get month-end
totals. Is there a way to automate this? Of course, the files to be
queried may be different so the date fields will not always be the same.
