>I have not been able to make it work. What is selected as the RECNO() in each case is the record in customer or order what was initially being pointed to when the SELECT command was issued. For instance, if the pointer in customer.dbf was at record 100 and the pointer in order was at record 50 when you issued the SELECT command as above, you would get two columns as follows:

>100     50

This code will not work. SQL SELECT often does a USE AGAIN ALIS whatever on a table, so you never know what the alias of the Cust table will be.
