Hello,

I have tried every suggestion that has been given to me regarding the whole "Group By" subject. However, I still do not seem to be accomplishing what VFP 6/7 was able to accomplish in VFP 8. I am beginning to wonder if it does work with this new SQL statement type. Everytime I attempt this "Group By" in any sense of my code, it still gives me the information seperately inside the grid. I attempted to re-write the code over and over again, but every version comes out the same or worse. I attempted the MAX() code into the fields, but destroyed my output data into figures that did not match up or correct figures that were placed multiple times.

select id_desc,sum_ap_total ;
from sql_ap_pre ; 
where ap_status = .pcStatus ; 
group by id_desc, sum_ap_total ;
into cursor sql_ap readwrite 

The id_desc and totals are shown as:

AP-MISC                        500.00
AP-OFFICESUPPLIES              500.00
AP-OFFICESUPPLIES              500.00
AP-OFFICESUPPLIES             2000.00
AP-COMPUTERS                  5000.00
AP-COMPUTERS                  3000.00
AP-COMPUTERS                  7000.00
AP-COMPUTERS                  1500.00
AP-OFFICESUPPLIES               50.00
AP-MISC                       1000.00

where as I am trying to accomplish:

AP-COMPUTERS                  11500.00
AP-OFFICESUPPLIES              3050.00
AP-MISC                        1500.00

I even narrowed this code down thinking that it was because I have more fields originally, but even when I now have only two fields, it does not come out right. Does anyone please have a solution for this in VFP 8 aside from using the 7 Engine to calculate correctly??

Thank you so much!!
