Alan,

Well, thanks for the observation. Actually, I didn't write this select statement, I just copied it from someone else's code. Today I found another bug in it and fixed it. I'll take a look. Without doubt, it would not deal with the problem, but anyway...

In my code I usually use count, not cnt, though I don't know the difference (should check it).

Thanks.

>I could be way out to lunch on this one Nadya, and I know cnt() should work, but just for the record, does it do the same thing if you use count() instead?

>>When I executing it, it gives me an Error message: variable Deeds is not found. This error comes from the Report itself, there this field used. Hovewer, if I insert browse just before report form line, it works just fine. What am I missing here?
