Well, that *may* solve that problem, but only because of the LOOP. You don't need a LOOP inside of a SCAN/ENDSCAN and in fact, I doubt if it will work correctly (that's most likely what the original problem was). In a SCAN/ENDSCAN, if you have selected another table somewhere in the code, when VFP hits the ENDSCAN to "go around again", it automatically selects the "driving" table. There is no need to do it in code.
