Worse yet it does not maintain the state during subsequent calls

Each subsequent all to NEXT returns the same record, the first one

I guess the table closes after the sub completes executing

I had hoped it was open until an explicit call to close or "program" termination but them as with always, each call to a sub is separate

Back to working on maintaining state as I was trying before. My only problem there was skipping same last names.

Re-invent wheel again
