>I have one SCAN Loop going. I am adding data from the main WORK.DBF file to a file called BATCHN.DBF. At the end of the loop (ENDSCAN), the WORK.DBF file is reselected, and it shows that we are on the 2nd recor, which is great. However, once I select the BACTHN.DBF table, the record in WORK jumps back to the previous record we were on in the WORK table.

After what the others have suggested, I would suggest the following steps:

1. comment out everything between the first SCAN to ENDSCAN
2. now verify (via debug) that the table is stepped through to each record
3. now uncomment one line of code at a time starting from the beginning of the loop.
4. verify again that the table is looped through
5. when you uncomment an IF uncomment the associated ENDIF
6. repeat until all uncommented or the record pointer jumps unexpectedly

This should give you where the problem occurs inside of your loop. You have to be moving the record pointer somehow external to the SCAN loop.
