I have never used On Entry expression, so I will have to look for it (actually the first shot at finding it in VFP 9 help not successful).
As to your last paragraph, of preparing cursor beforehand is what I mentioned in one of my messages. That would be creating a third cursor for storing the SUM values.
Again, thank you for your help (especially on Friday night when most people rest <g>).
