Yeah, that's pretty much what I thought I would have to do... So, I guess the real issue is that RECNO() is NULL if the table is empty? It has no actual value? Hmmm... I could see cases where RECNO() could be -1 though in the case of added records in a buffer. Maybe the best way would be to check if nRecNo is NULL rather than > 0.

>>But if the ALIAS was empty then the GOTO will give a record out of range error. Often the Do Something code is using tables/cursors, etc and the goal is to leave open data the same when exiting a method as it was on entering. Any thoughts? Thanks!
