>Hiya Hilmar. Yeah I got all that. I was expressing rather the weirdness of have a recno() value greater than zero if there are no records at all! Logically this is clearly not right. I appreciate this has been around for a while but that does'nt make it correct :) But hey, it's all part of the beauty of VFP!
Yes, it is weird indeed, but I don't consider it a bug. And, I consider the behaviour of bof() weirder still - or rather, the inconsistency between bof() and eof(). This
might be labelled a bug, but since it has been around since the earliest versions, it doesn't make much sense for the VFP team to "resolve" it.
