Larry,
Thanks for the input. While this in being implemented in a 7.5 app (scheduled to be converted to v8), I did test in v8 and found the same behavior. Since the COUNT = LAST does give a message that it is not supported on server tables, it could be logical that the COUNT = INSERT would likely be the same. I have implemented a MAX statement with where clause and it works well. I will give Dennis' suggestion of the TOP command. I have not used it yet, and if it is faster, it will be even better.

COUNT = INSERT is a (relatively) recent addition to R:Base, if you're using an older ODBC driver it might predate the COUNT = INSERT syntax. -- Larry
