>I have a xtab query myself. I'm trying to limit the number of fields in a report to 16 the 1st field always. and loop back every 15 of the rest. Also I would like to break the loops (a do while and a for loop), when there is no more data. Here's what I have so far:

Perry,
I'm not sure I understood correctly but could this be what you want :

select xtab
lnNeededCopies = ceiling((fcount()-1)/15)
for ix = 1 to lnNeededCopies  && Create n copies
	lcFields = field(1)
	for kx=(ix-1)*15+1+iif(ix=1,1,0) to min(ix*15,fcount())
	    lcFields = lcFields + "," + field(kx)
	endfor
	select &lcFields from xtab ;
	    into table ("xtab"+padl(ix,3,"0"))
	use in ("xtab"+padl(ix,3,"0"))
	select xtab
endfor
