Hi Terry.
Sorry my bad spelling ..meant to say FILTER

I have a Do while NOT Eof() which should do same thing.
but.... does a SKIP cause a Record Out Of Range ?
I can only get it to cause an End of File Encountered

Regards,
Gerard

>>>In my experience, Record out of range can come from:
>>> Do While !eof() loops when something causes the record pointer to go eof, then the skip is issued.
>>> Indexes being out of synch
>>> having a relationship set up and there is no corresponding record in the child table and you try to read data from the child record
>>> issuing a GO TO RecNum and RecNum doesn't exist or has been deleted and deleted() is set on
