Re: [Summary-Talk] from date - to date report

[Jason Linhart <jason@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

There is no completely easy way to get this to happen, but there are 
several ways you could setup your system to get that effect with a bit of 
work.

You could set a starting date on their sub-report to the start of the 
month. The main problem with this is that you need to update the starting 
date each month.

You could remove their old logs from Summary's Logs folder each month. 
This could be scripted to happen automatically.

A more drastic approach is to turn on "Incremental every hour, regular on 
schedule", set the schedule to process on the first of the month, and set 
"Number of days to include (0 means all)" to one. That will affect all 
sub-reports.

All of these approaches require that you not be running in incremental 
mode, although the last one is very nearly the same as incremental mode.

Good Luck
Jason

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
