>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.

I totally agree. I have definately been in some interesting debugging sessions because reserved words were used as field names.
