>>Well think of it like this, how many times does "for x = 1 to 2" fire? Twice, right? Well, if you subtract the second term by one, you still be firing it one less. Don't let the Zeros confuse you, its simply a value of the counter.

Jim,
I can. As long as the initial value is less then ending and stepping is positive it wouldn't run.

use sometable
local ix, counter
counter = 0
scan
 *some code
 counter = counter + 1
endscan
for ix = counter to 10
 ? ix
endfor

ix would never be printed if scanned reccount is more than 10.
