You're welcome. What I didn't specify was that the index tag in question must be active for the reordering to occur; I see that you figured it out. Anyway, I'm glad I could help.

>Thank you, again. It was the problem. I now SET ORDER TO right before the SCAN and the code works.

>>Is the code within the SCAN/ENDSCAN changing the order of records? For example, if the cursor is indexed and the *--code changes/replaces the value of a field participating in an index key, then that may reorder the cursor.
>>Also, have you tried to see what the RECNO() is at the end of the SCAN?

>>>A CursorAdapter cursor has 8 records (I see it in the RECCOUNT( cViewName )).

>>>SCAN
>>> *-- code
>>>ENDSCAN
