>>>Hi Gregory - thanks for the fast reply :) Just to be 100% clear; each nested SCAN - ENDSCAN, as well as the outside SCAN- ENDSCAN, will know which file it is processing and move the record pointer accodingly without affecting any other SCAN - ENDSCAN file loop?

I also had a quick test to confirm what I was thinking. It does not 'revert' as you put it

create cursor outer (pp I )
for i = 1 to 5 
	insert into outer values (m.i)

endfor

create cursor inner (pp I )
for i = 1 to 2 
	insert into inner values (m.i)

endfor


select outer
scan all
	? 'outer', pp
	
	if( empty(mod(pp,2)) )
		skip
	endif
#If .f.	
	select inner
	scan all
		?chr(9), 'inner', pp
	endscan
#endif
endscan
