Hi Stephen,

The Recno(), Reccount() and other alike function return incorrect result when used in multiple-table queries. Also, you cannot specify alias in those function even if they used in one table query because SELECT doesn't use your work areas; it performs the equivalent of USE ... AGAIN.
It's documented in 'SELECT - SQL Command' topic in help file. (look for RECNO).
