No. The final code that I have with sum_ap_totals already has summed the totals from a cursor that is created and processed before this one. So the end result cursor already has sum totals in a column called sum_ap_total, the original code use that created that column was sum(ap_total)

>>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.
