Thanks, I wasn't aware of that, although all the others are working and also using remote views, I started using _tally recently and I hadn't detected any problems. For this particular case reccount() or !eof() will do I guess, thanks again.

>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.
