truly amazing help. Thank you for your patience.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH

yep that was it.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH. thank you.

Now, thanks so much for your help but possibly one more? How can i limit it to only five records returned if i have 500 (most recent 5)?

the data is coming back now, just tabulated in a way that is not correct as my screens show

I think i was using the labels right?, here is my UI with no changes since before.

Yep they do

no data appears when i do that

i hope this screenshot explains it better, this is the app running after a loop of data

As you can see it has looped the data but for example it should be

Jones
West Pennant Hills
1500

next record

Smith
West Pymble
1600

etc

ok i figured out one of the issues, i was not mapping to the right area

however

this issue remains (all are looping now though)

Note: i've moved this off to a side page while i am mucking about just so don't have to worry about breaknig other things until i figure this out.
