Not sure - and now that you mention that, it's related to some spaghetti code I had to fix, where the variable to hold the record was initialized to zero, and didn't really get a value if no records. That's the reason I remember I had to check for between(nRecno, 1, recc()), just in case.

>Not quite. LOCATE RECORD accepts any value that RECNO() returns on the current table. If you pass a record number that doesn't exist either as a regular record or as a phantom record, it still errors. However, almost everytime I have to go to a certain record number, it is because I want to restore the record position that the cursor had when FoxPro entered a procedure or method. In this case, I can ensure that the record number is still valid providing that I haven't requeried the cursor. What I can't ensure is that I'm not on EOF.

Of course - but then you were there when you assigned the recno() to the variable, so even the EOF condition is restored, which is actually cool. I'm debugging something long at the moment, so I can't test this myself at the moment, but as long as it's VFP cursors-tables-views, this is a good tip to remember.
