Cindy,

Actually, I wrote it using my memory :) Back in FPD2.6 days I used this method to increment counter in a group. Perhaps, I used slight modification of it. It worked fine then :)

>>Create a variable before calling your Report:
>>private nCounter
>>nCounter=0
>>In report on group Footer put NewCounter()
>>Create a function (in a prg) called NewCounter, put it in the same directory, where you have your report.

>>Function NewCountetr
>>nCounter=nCounter+1
>>return nCounter
