Thanks William.
My table has a fixed number of rows so I just added another column with rownumber. It seems to work OK. I was just hoping to make it a little simpler with a function like RecordNo().

Thanks for the clarification.

And now my mantra "Why 'O Why can't MS make SQLServer/NET as easy as VFP?" They should get Calvin and Levy on the team.
