Table Join (Maybe?)

Hi again all,

I have two tables:

1. Sales figures by date and customer.

2. Customer details - including their Geographic State

I need to extract a report from the first table (I can do that!), and in
that report order by their State (I can do that too!), but I also need a
summary of all the customers in each state, below the end of each state, and
have a grand total at the bottom.

Eg:

Customer 1 State 1 $100.00

Customer 2 State 1 $100.00

State 1 $200.00

Customer 3 State 2 $100.00

Customer 4 State 2 $100.00

State 2 $200.00

Grand Total $400.00

Does anyone have any magic pointers for me? I've been playing with SELECT
INTO as 2 queries (the individual customers, then the summary figures added
to the temp table) but I end up with ROWS IN FIRST QUERY * ROWS IN SECOND
QUERY instead of them all sorted together nicely :-(

Thanks all,
