summary sheets from temp file

[Bruce Easton]

Scott, for the report to do what you need it to do, I would think you 
want it in client, then account order (so that it hits the lowest acct# 
first and the highest last within a client).  If you look back at Ken's 
initial reply on this, his first paragraph gives the answer, but, based 
on what we knew at that time, we only knew about the one combined field 
(which seems to be field #3).  So with those dummy fields global and 
"end"ing the @sbrk1 section, it should work the way he described if you 
sort on your field 3, but overriding the length of the sort to be 4.  
(Also, since we now know you have the other parts of the key stored 
separately, you could alternatively make the sort composite and sort on 
all of field 1 and then at the next level on all of field 2 and only 
specify to sub-total break (with the "x") on the level that's on field 1.)
