Hi Steve,

As long as your FOR clause is Rushmore optimized it should run at an acceptable speed.

Assuming that the grid is the children and the parent is another table. Would this slow down the processor or the speed if I use the FOR condition inside the SUM command? Eg. Sum orderx.amount FOR orderx.recnum = 999 TO temp
