Whilst I do not use Emerald anymore (the ever promised 2.5 will never come)
I do use RadiusNT for logging -

What I do is

"SELECT * INTO Calls1098 FROM Calls WHERE CallDate BETWEEN '1 Oct 98 0:00'
AND '31 Oct 98 23:59'

To copy all the records to a new table called Calls1098, where I label them
as CallsMMYY

Regards,
Graeme
