>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.

This works in 6/7 ? What's the logic behind grouping with an SQL like this ? I haven't seen your previous problem so there might be a logic in fact which I'm missing. Probably you meant to :
select distinct id_desc,sum_ap_total ;
from sql_ap_pre ;
where ap_status = .pcStatus ;
into cursor sql_ap readwrite
I don't see the point to use group by instead. Or you mean this ?
select id_desc,sum(sum_ap_total) as sum_ap_total ;
from sql_ap_pre ;
where ap_status = .pcStatus ;
group by id_desc ;
order by id_desc ;
into cursor sql_ap readwrite
