You cannot reliably get the RECNO() in a SQL SELECT. This is documented in Help. This is one of the reasons you should have a Primary Key on every record.


>Hello,

> I want to display the record number of my customer table from SELECT-SQL. I am able to do this when I use only the customer table, but if I join another table, I am unable to display the record number from the customer table.
>
> If I issue: "SELECT RECNO(), fname, lname FROM Customer INTO CURSOR lcTest," I get Customer.dbf's record number for each record.
>
> If I now join a second table into the SELECT-SQL, i.e., If I issue: "SELECT RECNO(), a.fname, a.lname, b.invoice FROM Customer a, Invoice b WHERE a.num = b.num INTO CURSOR lcTest," I get a record number, but it is not the record number from the Customer table, which is what I want.
