Hi Hugo,

I got rid of those a while ago. I had the intention of doing things a different way, without using INSERT, but changed my mind and forgot to remove the code before posting.

Thanks for the heads up anyway, Hugo,

Cecil

>I think you can get rid of both the scan and the seek:

FOR nMonth = 1 TO 12
	* Get the Carrier ID (Matches GrpID and PlanKey) 
	* and the Benefit Name (Matches PlanKey).
	lcCursor	= "tmpNearly" + PADL(nMonth, 2, "0")
	
	UPDATE (lcCursor) SET CarrID = G.Carr, Benefit = G.CovDesc8 ;
		FROM GrpsPlansCarrs G WHERE &lcCursor..GrpID + &lcCursor..PlanKey = g.Full_Key

	* You should replace g.Full_Key to whatever the key is on GrpsPlansCarrs 	
ENDFOR
