Thanks for the guidance. Your information helps, if only to indicate that I have to redo the way I'm building my data to get it into a format that will allow me to report the way I want to. Problem is that the number of fields between the Parent, Child, and Grandchild (if if use SELECT * ) would be greater than what FoxPro allows in a cursor (I believe that's 255). So, I've got some rethinking to do.

Thanks for clearing the mental log jam ... your ideas have stimulated other for me.
