>>>>>>I'm selecting two records in a table so I can copy or delete all the records between each of the selected record. My problem comes when the table is indexed. Is there a way to do this? I'm having a problem determining if the second record is before or after the first record. I'm using 5.0a. TIA

Hi Brad,
I would suggest a similar thing. But instead of adding recno() to indexes you could make the routine more generic :

lcKey = key()
* On one of recs
luValue1 = eval(lcKey)
lnRec1 = recno()
go nOtherRec
luValue2 = eval(lcKey)
lnRec2 = recno()
=seek(iif(luValue1 <= luValue2,luValue1, luValue2)) && Seek first one
lnFirstRec = iif(luValue1 <= luValue2,lnRec1, lnRec2)
scan while recno() # lnFirstRec && Locate start point
endscan
lnLastRec = iif(luValue1 <= luValue2,lnRec2, lnRec1)
luEnd = iif(luValue1 <= luValue2,luValue2, luValue1)
scan while eval(lcKey) <= luEnd
   if eval(lcKey) = luEnd ;
      and lnLastRec = recno()  && Hit last in range
      =doprocess()
      exit
   endif
   =doprocess()
endscan
