Yes, thank you, I've been keeping an eye on them becuase *IF* they did work it would make my non-normalized environment much easier to manage.

BTW, I just tested using RECNO() as a column in a 2 table SELECT and the RECNO() values got out-of-whack for a table that had index tags. But after DELETE TAG ALL on that table it worked fine. Oh well, guess I'm still stuck with multiple field index keys and fast-approaching grey hair. :D)
