Thanks. I was too lazy to try. I was also suspecting, what for this case it's not a reason. However, it's a general rule of thumb - do you want stay out of trouble - avoid using VFP reserved words as field names. We, though, don't obey this rule. We have field Date in our TranMstr table.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is.
