Jay,

You realize that a skip is going to make you only process every other row... also the code below does not throw any errors

create cursor x1 ( i1 i )

for i = 1 to 10
   insert into x1 values ( i )
endfor

scan
   ? x1.i1
   skip
endscan

>Ok, this is Foxpro 101, but if I'm in a SCAN and I issue the SKIP command is there another way other than putting in a conditional IF to check for EOF at every SKIP? I have FOR !EOF() on a DO WHILE, but after the ENDWHILE I do a SKIP and it barks at me when I hit the EOF. The quickest answer gets the prize as I'm trying to go home and I can't until I get through this scan logic...
