Erik,

Thank you. This works quite nicely and is easier to modify. It appears that using the grid's SQL statement capabilities aren't as nice as I thought they were. Using your method is how I had done it in FPW and I thought that maybe I could use a new (to me) VFP feature instead. Sometimes the tried and true are best.
