>I tried your idea and got no change in the results. The machine I am on is a win98 os. Requerying twice is still the only thing that has found the records.

I see the thread is still alive (I guess that's not good news :). Anyway, you're sure the first requery is incorrect, and not the browse window? That's the bug I first mentioned, the browse window does not show correct results...if you do the code programmatically, and if you store results to vars, and then look at them somewhere, are they different? And are they different without the DELETE in the code?

To be absolutely sure, you might use something like:

select thisview
parameter = etc
=requery()
count to nvar1
parameter = etc
=requery()
count to nvar2
