updating a summary table automatically over time
Hi -
I need to build a chart that shows the cumulative total number of folks on our email list. I gather the best way to do this is to build a summary table that shows the weekly and monthly cumulative # members, and I can create those formulas. I'm stuck, though, on how to update the summary table over time with new fields for weeks and months over time. (for example, if I put it in place today, it would show weekly and monthly results through today, but in six months I'd like the summary tabke to automatically add weeks and months as time goes by.
And do I want the summary table to contain one record per week and month, or just one record with a table that gets updated?
Any suggestions would be appreciated --

I guess you could create a script that runs a opening of the DB that checks the date and if it equals Jan 1 of the new year then it creates the new summary records.
Or you can create a button that you press once a year to create all of the months and weeks for the year.
