Hi,
This is where I show just how little I know!
In the UK our tax year is 2006/05/01 to 2007/04/30 etc etc. I've been
able to work out how to do yearly reports by manually entering the start
and end dates into a query, but is it possible to use Firebird's brain
to recognize the start and end date of a new tax year so the creation of
new reports can be automatic? i.e. When the clock rolls over from 30th
April, 2006 to 1st May, 2006, the DB recognizes the fact and starts a
new tax year block of analysis.
Guess who's trying to save himself trouble changing the dates for the
last six tax years to reflect the new tax year? ;-)
