Create one record from multiple records

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi everyone. Can someone please give me some pointers on how to
accomplish this task? I have one table with multiple records. Looks
kind of like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cust_ID Name Charge Date
1000 XXXXXXXXXX 536.10 06/01/00
1352 XXXXXXXXXX 204.19 07/13/00
1000 XXXXXXXXXX 1055.42 08/15/00
1352 XXXXXXXXXX 978.11 09/14/00
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I need to do here is take all of the cust_id's that are the same
(the cust_ID field has multiple entries, just different charges and
dates), add the sum of the charges for a given year (for this example,
dates from 01/01/00 to 12/31/00) and insert the added total into a new
dbf file as one record. For the example above:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cust_ID Name Total Charges Year
1000 XXXXXXXXXX 1591.52 00
1352 XXXXXXXXXX 1182.30 00
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can someone tell me what would be the easiest way to get this done?
There are about 95,xxx records in this table.

Any help would be appreciated.
