Tore,

SET RANT ON

and
what is this ?

for x=1 to 1

may by

>SET RANT ON
>Do you ever check with help?
>SET RANT OFF
>

>SET EXCLUSIVE ON & Not OFF, OFF is if you must share, to pack it must be ON!!!!!!!!!
>

>By the way, SET EXCLUSIVE OFF is usually only set ONCE in your program, or in the config.fpw file. In stead you add the EXCLUSIVE keyboard whenever you need it
>
>

>for x=1 to 1
>  use ('month'+alltrim(str(x,2))+'2005') EXCLUSIVE
>  delete for no=1151
>  pack
>endfor

>And if you need to PACK regularly, you should reconsider your design. PACK should typically be used about once a year to clean up the tables, not daily or weekly!

>>>>trim() will only trim to the right, IIRC. Here you need ltrim() or alltrim(); or simply convert the number with trans(x).

>>>Yes, I ment to use alltrim, but I simply forgot. I also thought about the transform function, but on top of my head I was not sure if it defaulted to trim the result or not, but it sure does. So your solution is the simplest in this case.
