OK fixed it by reversing the where & select

SELECT ;

.t. as choose , ;

natno, ;

ninoconfirm , ;

surname ;

FROM calcpay!employee ;

WHERE EMPTY(natno) OR ninoconfirm = .f.;

ORDER BY refn DESC ;

INTO CURSOR Empinfo READWRITE

I take it that the SELECT does the WHERE first to see if it needs to

include the data.

Kind regards
