Ok, I see what you mean. This would be for the alternate way, so I don't have to make it into a grid.

I want to try this cross tab thingy first, since it would probably be easier for the users to fill in a grid than a long combination of zones. But this will work if the grid way doesn't.

I've been looking at this "vfpxtab" program over and over and it's way beyond me. Anybody know how to work this thing?

Thanks,
