One problem with Client/Server is mixing languages!

I was thinking of the EXISTS function that I so often use in SQL Server stored procedures. I discovered, upon perusing online docs, that there is no such fcn in FP. I used RowCount to get a solution. I will investigate the _TALLY that you mentioned to see if it is more elegant. (I like elegant code!)

Thanks for your reply.
