Jim,

I seem to be having a lot of VFP5 problems here at work. A lot of the default functions don't seem to work properly. To save on debugging time I try to use as much precision as I possibly can. I wonder if there's a big difference between Professional and Enterprise. I also encounter problems in the exe file that I don't get in debug mode. I think it's haunted.

thanx

>First SCAN has an implicit WHILE NOT EOF() so you don't need it. Second you can combine the two conditions into one SCAN FOR expression. Third the locate needs to be done in a different work area so select that area first. Fourth there's no need to reselect the work area being scanned as that is automatically done by ENDSCAN. Finally, SCAN always starts at the top of the table unless you use an explicit WHILE condition or use the REST keyword, so the GO TOP's are not required.
