[AccessD] Query Criteria

Drew,

It is neither.  Hopefully, in the end, it will provide the source data
for an embedded chart in an ad-hoc Powerpoint presentation.

Recently, with the help of the list, I attempted to achieve this using
in-line subqueries, however, the fact that I am running a totals query
made that approach problematic.  The query is already grouped by year
and month, the problem is that I need only the top 5 records for each
month-year combination.  Upon reflection, it seemed that I might be
able to run a top 5 totals query repeatedly for a single month and
achieve my goal.
