Yuri,
I can put in the following code:
SQLEXEC(Ras2Conn, "SELECT Ras2_envelope.ENV_NO, Ras2_envelope.ENV_TOTL ;
FROM Ras2_envelope", "test")
SELECT test
BROWSE nowait
And browse the data; however, the following code (and the code you provided):
thisform.List1.columnCount=2
thisform.list1.RowSourceType= 3
thisform.list1.RowSource="SELECT ENV_NO, ENV_TOTL FROM Ras2_envelope"

results in a box that shows open tables (and there is none). It is apparently trying to open a dbf file.
