This would only get the the SUM of the Amount for the country with out
regard for what work area it is.  I would have to limit even further do it
10 times and then do it for each country 10 times.  This is how I currently
do it.  I then stick it into an array and then I can start building the
report.

There has to be a more efficient way of handling this.
