>Exactly what I was thinking. So, where VFP allows you to perform some checks on the data, it won't be able to evaluate stuff like Recno(). Now I think of it, this will be the same as FOR NOT DELETED() won't work (never thought of it this way ;).

Foxpro can evaluate Recno(), Reccount() and alike in APPEND FROM. See my message to Jim.
