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

Dan,

You are right. In fact your guess "maybe even updating a key value in the
record, causing it to "appear" again later in the access path?" is
absolutely correct and I am very thankful for valuable hint which helped me
in resolving my problem.

Thanks once again
