Hi Barbara,
There's no bound control. It's all happening in code.

select C_Seri   && A cursor
cc= 0
scan
   cc= m.cc + 1
   insert into SeriNo ;   && a "real" table
      (SeriNo, JNum , ItemID, Part) ;
      values ;
      (C_Seri.SeriNo, .jnum, C_Seri.ItemID, C_Seri.Part)
endscan
select JNum, ItemId, SeriNo, Part ;
   from SeriNo ;
   where JNum = .jnum ;
   into table T_Seri   && the most recently insert line from SeriNo doesn't make it!

If I move the record pointer prior to the query it works fine!
