Diane,
Where you put the code depends on where you have USEd your view. I'm assuming this is a parameterized view with parameters for the Product_Name and Quality fields? If so, then at some point you assign values to the parameters and ReQuery() the view, correct? This is the point to check the Reccount() value (as Dave suggests).

The _tally method is useful if you have a SELECT.... into cursor RptData where the cursor is used in the report. If this isn't clear, then let me have a little more information:

1) Is this a parameterized view? If not how do you limit the data (if you're using SET FILTER, please think again. This can be very slow with large record sets and most of us try to avoid it).

2) Where do you update the view to get just the data you want on the report

Thanks,
Barbara

>Hello Barbara,
