Hi everyone,
In the code below, I added the line

? TAG(cAliasName, nTagCount)

as a debugging measure to try to figure out why my cTagName field was coming up empty everytime I ran this code. To my surprise, I was getting the TAG names written out to my VFP screen, but I still was getting nothing inserted into my table. Notice I'm trimming the value that I'm inserting, and none of the tag names are greater than the 50 character field width.

LPARAMETERS cAliasName
LOCAL nTagCount

nTagCount = 1

CREATE CURSOR orderList ( cTagName C(50), tagExpression C(200) )

if TAGCOUNT(cAliasName) > 0
	for nTagCount = 1 to TAGCOUNT(cAliasName)
                  ? TAG(cAliasName, nTagCount)
		INSERT INTO orderList( cTagName, tagExpression ) VALUES ;
			(alltrim(TAG(cAliasName, nTagCount)), SYS(14, nTagCount, cAliasName))
	endfor
endif

BTW, y'all are getting the "Thundering Train" version of the code here whereas I'm just trying to get the tags into the cursor for now & will put all proper precautions in place later. Thoughts anyone?
