Yea, I know, I know... I forgot all about the quotes - I tried all the other ways. Can I ask you one more ques...

is there any logical reason why the loop works, the TableUpdate(.T.) returns a TRUE, but the records in the
DB don't update? The view has key & modified fields, SQL update and the qtystart, qtyend are marked.

Once again, thanks for all your help!!!!
