I am trying to LOOP through a stack and display the values from a column for each row where the condition is true = Security_Type EQ 3. Then plug each different value into separate varibles (office 1, office 2 - 8) so I can have them display in a Edit Box. Any ideas? Lost!

Security_Type Value_String All_Flag
1 TEK 0
2 TEKNE 0
3 00001 0
3 00006 0

Hi Clay -
The issue here is, is the answer set finite or infinite? If it is finite I would do something like this:

Assume STK1 contains all of your data. INFER the same fields into STK2 to create but not load it.

STACK COPY FROM STK1 INTO STK2
WHERE SECURITY_TYPE = 3;
-* This loads all the matching values into a new stack. Then
Compute office1 = stk2(1).value_string;
Compute office2 = stk2(2).value_string;
Compute office3 = stk2(3).value_string;
...
Compute office8 = stk2(8).value_string;

If the values are not finite you could display the column of STK2 in a grid and allow the users to edit the data that way.

There is always the backup plan of calling FOCUS to return a record set back to Maintain.

Look up EXEC in the documentation, it calls a WebFOCUS proc.
