Hi Gunnar

Have you tried to set a relation between the two tables then scanning through diecum .

&& set your relation here.

Select 'diecum'
GO TOP
SCAN
SELECT 'dieactualdata'
IF !EOF()
&& Do some thing
ELSE
&& There is no matching records
ENDIF
ENDSCAN

I have found in the past when I use the locate that some records where skipped. I was able to solve the problem using the set relation command then scanning through the table.

I hope this helps,

Andy
