>>It is my understanding that _TALLY would count records in the CURSOR TEMP. If deleted was ON then deleted records would be counted and they would be in the CURSOR TEMP and processed through the SCAN loop- which could give some interesting results. If deleted is OFF then deleted records should not be in the CURSOR TEMP or counted in _TALLY.

You are correct. I dyslexic was.
