I'm not aware of any extra special considerations you need in accessing a database table other than a free table. All FP commands etc. work just the same on them. Maybe in an SQL statement you may have to put, like:

Select * from myDatabase!Mytable ...

as opposed to:

Select * from Mytable ...

if you're selecting data from a table not in the current database (i.e. not in the database featured in the command:

Set Database to MyCurrentdbc ).

Note that if you use long field names in a database table, and SQL select from that table, into free table or cursor,m then the long field names woill be truncated to 10 chars in the result.

Good luck
