Hi David,

That's what I was afraid of. I'm going to return -999 from my Get_Age() function, instead of NULL. It seems that my REAL problem is that the CURSOR that VFP creates, doesn't allow NULLs, I thought that was because it created a Numeric instead of an Integer. Oops! As I stated elsewhere in this thread, the query is generated out of FoxFire, so I don't have an easy solution, except to avoid NULLs from functions.
Thanks,
