SET DELETED ON, hey? I have to ask myself how in the world it is that I didn't know about it! It certainly would have saved me a lot of time, not only here, but other places as well.

Thanks!

Jim

The documentation, for as much as I understand it, seems to say that the FOR phrase applies to the records in the table I'm appending to; what I want to do is to select records that I'm appending from.
