Bob: This is a reverse loop. Normally when you loop, say 10 records, you go from 1 to 10 (this is up).  Reverse is from 10 to 1 (this is called down)

downto  2 step 2 -  it will count two backwards until 2 that is   10, 8, 6, 4, 2.   

I think, I am right but if not Lantican will clarify.

Thanks Bharat,

The example worked fine.  I just wanted to understand the logic better. I hate just copying something without completely understanding it.

I am now convinced that between all us users and the help of the Lanticans we will together figure all this stuff out eventually.  Cheesy
