Re: Statistics

[Martha Driscoll <driscoll@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm curious.  Is creating a review file of items and then counting them 
doing something that Create STATISTICAL Reports cannot do?  Are you 
creating a review file in such a way as to omit certain items that you 
don't want to count?  What am I missing?

We are beta testing the Millennium version of Create Statistical Reports 
(MilStats), and I'm wondering if this program will resolve whatever 
problem is causing people to put items into review files in order to count 
them.
