Hi!
Well, I would try to do a find on the time period, then switch to a summary
layout. That layout should contain 2 sub-summary parts. Create a summary field
that sums the number of patients (patno) and put it on a sub-summary part sorted
by physician. You may want to put the field for physician name on the same layout
part. Create another sub-summary part sorted by clinic location. Put the summary
field patno on that layout together with the clinic location field. Make a script
that takes the user first to a find request to search for the right time period,
then sorts the found set for physician and clinic location, and finally shows the
summary layout in preview mode with the option to print (pause step, then print
setup and print steps in script). If I didn't forget anything, this should work.
I'm sure you'll figure it out with these tips.
