Naomi - Data looks fine.

I probably could have accomplished the same thing with enginebehavior set to 70 and using max(salary) like many of us did in the earlier version of VFP. With 9 it appears Sergey is getting around the requirements to group by sif_no and the Class Code in the "group by clause" by using min(ClassCode).

I have done that on occassion but was too brain dead this morning to think of it. So Sergey on his white horse came and rescued me as he has done for a lot of us.

Thanks for your concern.

>>I have a table with the following fields sif_no, ClassCode, Salary. There are many ClassCodes for a policy. I want to get the ClassCode with the highest salary. See snippet of code below that I use. However, if there is a policy(sif_no) with two class codes with the same salary it will pick up both.
