Wayne,

This is my point. The Sybase way of doing things is different than the IB's
way. There are a lot of books about Sybase, none about IB. I've been
learning a lot from groups like this and seaching Google, but it is time
consuming.

And yes, I'm starting to learn the For Select construct in IB can be very
powerful. I've still have lots to learn.

Thanks for the input.

Bradley
