I run the following lines of code in VFP command window and get the error. I swear that the fieldname (custmer_id in this case) is qualified, but it still won't run. Any one see something I missed?

select ctemp.custmer_id, state, potncust.name_full from ctemp, potncust ;
  where ctemp.custmer_id = potncust.custmer_id order by state, custmer_id into cursor ctemp1

select potncust.custmer_id, state, potncust.name_full from ctemp, potncust ;
  where ctemp.custmer_id = potncust.custmer_id order by state, custmer_id into cursor ctemp1

TIA
