OK fixed it by reversing the where & select

SELECT  ;
   .t. as choose , ;
   natno, ;
   ninoconfirm , ;
   surname ;
   FROM  calcpay!employee ;
   WHERE EMPTY(natno) OR ninoconfirm = .f.;
   ORDER BY  refn DESC ;
   INTO CURSOR Empinfo READWRITE

I take it that the SELECT does the WHERE first to see if it needs to 
include the data.

Kind regards
