Agnes,

I think we agree totally.

>If you are satisfied with the result of your thread, it's o.k.. I still have the feeling of to loud "BUG" in thread titels. And to much things that may be seen in a differnt way after a deeper look.

>Other members point out not to use it in this thread.

>>>>>Be careful when using, in join conditions, functions such as DELETED( ), EOF( ), FOUND( ), RECCOUNT( ), and RECNO( ), which support an optional alias or work area. Including an alias or work area in these functions might yield unexpected results. SELECT doesn't use your work areas; it performs the equivalent of USE ... AGAIN. Single-table queries that use these functions without an optional alias or work area will return proper results. However, multiple-table queries that use these functions — even without an optional alias or work area — might return unexpected results.
