Well, you didn't provide all the code. I didn't see an ENDSCAN, so looking for other options.

>Okay, I did put recno("work") in as a memory variable, I mean in The debugger, but I didn't put a break on it. Okay, that's what I will do. I know the change in record number happens though as soon as I hit the foillowing code: SELECT BATCHN. And when I open a browser on the WORK table, I can't get it to move off the 1st record.
