Thanks DN for your quick response.  You guys must get tired of answering all
the half explained problems you encounter.

Sorry for not being clear,  I wanted to sum all the grp/@name that = 1, all
that = 2 etc. for each day (date/@name) and then find the max of that
sequence.

And yes, that was the solution I was looking for. Mucho thanks-a-lotta
