Why ou bother to insert those records in DBF? Why not working directly with crsTest?
If you use

insert into dbftable(field1,field2) values (crstest.field1,crstest.field2)

are you sure you didn't put source somewhere? Becuase you can't get this error if you didn't use source field somewhere.

Try this:

IF sqlexec(lccon,"select * from mysqltable where source=1","crstest") < 0
   AERROR(laErr)
   MessageBox(laErr[1,2]
   RETURN
ENDIF
SELECT CrsTest
BROWSE NORMAL && You must see SOURCE field here
insert into   dbftable (field1        ,field2);
       values;
                       (crstest.field1,crstest.field2) && Here check for using SOURCE filed
