Hey all. Ive got a big problem with an sql statement Im working on.

There are 2 tables with a master/detail relationship. The Header Table
is the master, the Line Table is the detail. So for each Header, there
are many Lines, but a Line can only reference one Header.
There is a Line Total and Line Cost in each Line Record. Each Line
Record has a type.
What I want to be able to do is, for each Header, I want to Sum each
corresponding Line's Total and Cost where the type is either one value
or another. If the type is, for example, 10, only sum the Total, if its
type 2, only sum the Cost.

Therefore, after the query is executed, you should have a result set
something like this

Job : Job1 (header id)
Desc : Job0001 (header desc)
Cost : (sum of Line Costs where Line Type is 2 and header id is Job1)
Total : (sum of Line Totals where Line Type is 10 and header id is
Job1)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Job : Job2 (header id)
Desc : Job0002 (header desc)
Cost : (sum of Line Costs where Line Type is 2 and header id is Job2)
Total : (sum of Line Totals where Line Type is 10 and header id is
Job2)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

etc.


Hope this makes sense. Thanks
