Michael, No problem at all. The official VFP line is that if you use a cursor as input to a further "select" statement then you should ALWAYS add the rewrite option. In reality, sometimes when you omit the readwrite it works (especially in vfp9) but in about 5% of cases it croaks! I must admit I ALWAYS use it having been bitten on many occasions even though it's a little slower as a physical cursor is produced on disk (not in memory). I'd just not noticed you didn't have it in your first post!
It's always the time you forget that catches you out though!

Which will do me for now! Thank-you very much. I'll have a look at it again over the weekend and see if I can pin down the cause. Now I can just get on with the other urgent things to do yesterday!
