Avoiding Query In Loop

Hello all,

I currently have an asp script that is generating a 12 month rolling report. From asp I'm running a for loop with 12 iterations, each one sending the following query:

select count(a.aReportDate) as ttl from findings f left outer join audits a on a.aID = f.auditID
where f.findingInvalid <> 1 and month(aReportDate) = " & Mo & " and year(aReportDate) = " & Yr

where the Mo and Yr variables are incremented accordingly.

I actually have 4 sets of data being pulled back to populate a graph, so this results in 48 queries with each page load! Obviously not ideal. So I'm hoping to reduce this to 4 queries. I was playing with the following in enterprise manager:

DECLARE @DT DATETIME
DECLARE @CNT INT
SET @DT = '10/31/07'
SET @CNT = 1
WHILE(@CNT < 12)
BEGIN
select count(a.aReportDate) as ttl from findings f left outer join audits a on a.aID = f.auditID
where f.findingInvalid <> 1 and month(aReportDate) = month(@DT) and year(aReportDate) = year(@DT)

SET @CNT = @CNT + 1
END

I haven't yet added any logic to increment the date, but my concern is that it looks like it is returning 12 separate results. Is there any way to combine this all into one resultset that will be passed back to my asp script? Hopefully this makes sense?

Suggestions on a completely different approach would also be welcome.

Thanks!
