>>>Why would you want to do that when there is recno()? Why don't you suggest, is there a reason? Even if one wouldn't use recno() because of something like indexed view along with 1,2...100 numbering then why would you ever want to add to source another column, you could use an auxillary cursor or array.

Yes, I figured that. I think you're right, it may be better alternative.
