Hi Beth,

Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't poGraph.cursor2 populated only when lnButton = 5, which makes check for the button redundand? Also, the second part of conditions will be evaluated only when poGraph.cursor2 is not NULL.
Simple test

poGraph = NEWOBJECT("Empty")
ADDPROPERTY(poGraph, "cursor2", NULL)
? (ISNULL(poGraph.cursor2) OR RECCOUNT(poGraph.cursor2) = 0)  && .T.
*
poGraph.cursor2 = .F.
? (ISNULL(poGraph.cursor2) OR RECCOUNT(poGraph.cursor2) = 0)  && Error

What is the value of poGraph.cursor2 when it's not popualted with a cursor name?

> That still does not work. I still get error 17, because it is looking at RECCOUNT(poGraph.cursor2) = 0.
>I have to look at three things for this set of statements within the IF to work:
>1. poGraph.cursor2 needs to be not set to a cursor name.
>2. lnButton needs to be 5 - they picked the 2 graph report
