Willie Junior GRANT, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 4D06-2223.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    April 18, 2007.
    Carey Haughwout, Public Defender, and Marcy K. Alen, Assistant Public Defender, West Palm Beach, for appellant.
    Bill McCollum, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and James J. Carney, Assistant Attorney General, West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Appellant was convicted of attempted second degree murder and battery. He argues that the trial court erred in allowing the state to cross-examine him on a statement he made to a detective because it was beyond the scope of direct examination. We find no abuse of discretion. Appellant also argues that the victim, a former crack user, should not have been allowed to testify that he had stopped using crack and was enrolled in a recovery program. Athough we agree this evidence was not admissible, it was harmless.

Affirmed.

STEVENSON, C.J., KLEIN and SHAHOOD, JJ., concur.
