>Hi Rich, I appreciated the replies you and Nadia sent back in March, and sorry for not getting back before this, but I've been sidetracked. The solution you provided does work, however, what I failed to state is that I don't wish to perform this for a single ZipCode, but for a whole table (query) of zips. In VFP this wouldn't be a problem, but I'm populating a table for a webpage, and to have the SELECT's below run for each line (record) would be very load intensive. Thus, I was looking for a query that would do it all in one server construct. If you have any further ideas, I'd be glad to try them out.

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure the queries give results for all delivery/billing date, zipcode combinations after your specified date and you don't have to run the process for separately for each zip code.

I know when I first looked at it I tried to get it into one query (a holdover from my APL programming days) and couldn't.

Unfortunately, I'm not a web developer so I don't really understand all the issues.

Probably someone else here will be able to give a better answer.
