[Zope-CMF] sum up member properties for specific time period

[Norman Khine]

suerly, i must be missing something here or don't understand the whole OO
programming, perhaps you can enlighten me ;^)

but if it is possible to write an external  method to collate this
information and another method to analyse this, is there no way to by-pass
the need for the text file and be able to piece the information from the
ZODB?

perhaps i am thinking more on SQL terms rather then OO!

is this my Achilles heal?

thanks

norman
