Hi Kile,

>What I meant above when I said the USE statement wasn't doing anything, was that after issuing the USE statement, if I look to see what the current ALIAS() is, it's *NOT* rv_NextKey.

Right, IN 0 means you open your table in the lowest (or hightest?) on used work area, not the current. Without IN 0 or another workarea USE would keep replaceing the table int he same WorkArea. Do a SELECT rv_NextKey after the USE.
