RE: VFP9-convert a number to month
I took your second expression, and switched out fields with stuff in my data so I could test and it worked just fine for me. I didn't have any group by problem.

Re: VFP9-convert a number to month
OK, I see what may be the problem. It's probably FoxPro's attempt at determining the field size when it starts the query. Try this instead: cMonths = JAN~FEB~MAR~APR~MAY~JUN~JUL~AUG~SEP~OCT~NOV~DEC =ALINES(aMonths,cMonths,.t.,~) SELECT client,CL+aMonths[saleperiod-(INT(saleperiod/100)*100)] ; FROM winhst INTO CURSOR xyz SELECT * FROM xyz GROUP BY 1,2 ORDER BY 1,2 Take two passes at the data, 1 to get the value you need and 2 to get the grouping. I also used an array to simplify some of the other code.
