Ray -

I could swear that I posted a reply to your last message, but since I don't see it, let me try again.

I understand and appreciate your explanation of the programming, with the exception of  "vTimes <10".  Unfortunately, I just don't get it. 

Could you please elaborate on that one point? 

Thanks!

Ray is looping and loitering to give the engine time to retrieve the records in the result set. The vTimes variable is used to make sure that the loop does not run forever if there are no records. By checking that vTimes < 10, Ray makes sure that there will be only ten attempts to get the record count, amounting to waiting for ten seconds (because of the "loiter" statement). Of course, if it gets a result earlier it does not wait.

In english the logic states:
"continue trying while you have no result and you have tried less than ten times."

Now how did you know what Ray was thinking?   lol   Just kidding, of course.

Thank you very much.  It now makes perfect sense and I will know how to apply it.
