Since the two procedures appear to be identical except for the selection
criteria, the problem must lie in the criteria versus the data base. That
is, it is not finding the criteria you have specified. You can walk through
the procedure one step at a time to see if it is doing what you expect and
identify the step where it does not do what you expect. Then you can more
easily analyze why it is not doing it. Below is a cleaned up version of your
code, that removes all the unnecessary "selects". I did not test it so if
you decide to use it, you should first test it on copies of your files.

I did find the problem. I went back to database and copied and pasted the
"criteria" I checked for spaces etc and when pasteing it all worked.
Thanks for the clean up.
Your assistance greatly appreciated.
