>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.

LOCATE followed by a ! EOF(), rather than RECCOUNT(), for a number of reasons, the easiest to explain being the situation where you end up with a filtered view of a table from a SQL Select; regardless of the number of applicable number of records, RECCOUNT() returns the total number of records in the underlying table.

>>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.
