Thank you!!!![/quote]Confused. Did it help or not?If not, what is the problem. I am not a Foxpro developer but this does appear to be basic SQL. The only thing I see missing in the query is a join between the data in the tables.Not being able to see what you see makes it even harder.Mon, 18 Feb 2013 09:19:20 GMTLynn Pettishttp://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic1421182-2799-1.aspxI tried that getting dozens on duplicates on the output file?
