Hi, Dan.

Thanks for kicking in here. 1st question--no problem. Thanks for the guidance. 2nd question: I'm not sure what you mean by "a select". Are you talking about a SQL statement? I could, indeed, use one here now that I think about it. I am using a DO WHILE loop to examine every record for the target student for the target term. As a matter of fact, I'll try that as a work-around. Still curious, however, as to how such an oft-used process could produce such an error message.

I'll let you know how SQL works here. And thanks, again, for the suggestion.

John
