Hi Eric I think that's because the limit is 32 (not 31 as I stated). Try using For x = 1 To 33 and I think you will get the problem. Please let us know Thanks Paul Newton

Interesting. I whipped up this test and cannot replicate the problem: CREATE CURSOR crsTest (id i) cCmd = [CALCULATE ] FOR x = 1 TO 32 cField = "Field"+TRANSFORM(x) ALTER table crsTest ADD COLUMN (cField) I cCmd = cCmd + "SUM("+cField+")," NEXT cCmd = cCmd + "AVG(Field1)" &cCmd

Hi all
I think I have come across a possibly undocumented limitation to the maximum number of expressions in a CALCULATE command. In my case a fatal error occurred when trying to CALCULATE the SUMs of 32 different fields in a cursor. It took a while to establish what was going on, but when I reduced the number of expressions to 31 the error no longer occurred.
Has anybody else encountered this issue? Many thanks
