Hi SeanThanks for your very prompt reply - you all are amazing. I recognize that you are volunteers and for those of us who rely on your generosity of time, you are invaluable.
I will endeavour to write the create, insert & query statements using the data I`ve shown above. in actuality, I`ve created only a few tables in my life using sql but I`ve seen examples and I`ll figure it out. I`ll return when I`m able to create a table and insert the data but it`ll take me a bit.
thanks so much. I really hope that one day I`ll be able to help someone else.

No need to generate thousands of rows or anything. Just enough data to meet the challenges you are facing. Normally I would try to parse together the stuff posted but I just couldn't quite figure out what was what with yours. Post back when you have it situated and we can figure it out pretty quickly.
