Use reccount(), NOT eof(), etc. You can not use _tally because VFP does not update this variable in this circumstance. There are too many IFs on when VFP _tally is or is not updated to go into. Generally, _Tally gets updated only when you do something locally.

>The problem is that I am having a strange problem with one of them, _tally is 0 even though the select retrieves a record (It's supposed to retrieve only one or none), so the program assumes an invalid code.
