>That would work. Not too elegant, though - exit means you're exiting a loop, so why not make a loop which knows when to exit? Scan/endscan is one such loop, it automatically exits on eof() and runs once per visible record in the given scope (and I think you'll love the scopes - check "scope clauses", "for clauses" and "while clauses" in help, then look at the bottom at the number of commands which have them... which is altogether the nice thing about Fox, how you can combine them at will).

i thought it over came up with

SELECT v_lclients
GO TOP 


FOR i = 1 TO numpep

	DO CASE
		
		CASE i=1
			Thisform.pageframe1.page5.combo2.value = clientid
			
		SKIP 
            
		CASE i=2
			Thisform.pageframe1.page5.combo4.value = clientid
			
		SKIP 
            
		CASE i=3
			Thisform.pageframe1.page5.combo5.value = clientid
		SKIP 
		
		CASE i=4
			Thisform.pageframe1.page5.combo6.value = clientid
		
		SKIP 
		
		CASE i=5
			Thisform.pageframe1.page5.combo7.value = clientid
		
		SKIP 
		
	ENDCASE
ENDFOR
