I've done this a few times. Works like this: SET(LOF:key,LOF:key) loop if access:loen_fast.next() then break. ! Do a lot of things on this loen_fast HldPos = Position(LOF:key) LOF:field2 = 'Something in this record of loen_fast' set(LOF:Key2,LOF:key2) loop if access:loen_fast.next() then break. !Update some Loen_fast records end reset(LOF:key,HldPos) access:loen_fast.next() end The trick is you need to issue a next after the reset to get back to were you were. -Mike
