Re: Second time updation of record within the same loop.

Dan,

Yes, you're right.  I missed that.

So the logical loop becomes

DoU  LR
Read Record setting on LR at End
If outside range set on LR
If LR is off
   update record
End If
EndDo

Still doesn't explain the "endless loop" though.

Jim Langston
