I have never used work files, so I would have to do some research on that, not that I am opposed to such a venture, but I was hoping to resuse some of my existing skills. The whole reason behind this question is that I have to create a subfile that will display based on what salesman number the user enters, YTD hardgood sales (which is contained within the customer master file) and then Cylinder rent which would be a cumulative amount from the line item file (which contains 1.3 million records) and then a calculated field showing the total, this has to be done for each different customer number assigned to the salesman, and to top it off, I need the data displayed in descending order LOL Pulling the info from the customer master is easy enough, but I would have to loop through the line item file hundreds or even thousands of times to get the totals. I thought about creating a logical file for each salesman in customer order but maintenance would be heavy, as each time we add a new salesman I have to create a new logical file and then modify the code. I suppose I could create a logical joined file with the pertinent info and then key in on the salesman and then customer, but I am not sure if that is the best answer. I am open ears to anyone with any suggestions :)
