Mathias,

Thanks for the reply.

I solved the problem in a manner, I think, similar to what you are suggesting. I wound up making a single view with "lflag = .T. OR [bunch of conditions]" as the filter condition in the view designer.

How do you set the selection criteria at run time for MM's dynamic cursors? I'm still using VFP 7, so that may be a later enhancement not available to me.

Thanks,

June
