Answers.Text: Pete thanks for that suggestion, and it looks like just the thing that Adam is looking for. I was looking for a similar report and way to calc the 'point in time' monthly membership counts a few years ago now, and glad that you put us on to this.  I've also installed it and am checking it out on a demo site,  so I have to add some more dummy membership data to see it working better in action....

Comments.Text: Given that membership is a core aspect of functionality, the default reporting tools are pretty woeful when it comes to membership. Trying to find out, for example, who was a member on a given date in the past is something that everyone with a membership responsibility will need to know, but it feels really difficult to get hold of.
