So I guess that was aimed AT, rather than TO, me? What I don't remember mentioning was 'wrong'. I could never assume to suppose you would ever post incorrect info on the subject of 4GL dude. You're the god. But I can backup a fellow poster by confirming that at some time, in some version, for some reason, the FOREACH loop was expensive compared to FETCH. Don't know why, can't prove it, don't care any more. If you say 7.2/7.3 is okay, that's good enough for me. So dismount your lofty bovine and suck in those cheeks. No one is attacking your credibility dude. AB ---------------------------------------------------------------- Get your free email from AltaVista at http://altavista.iname.com
