>>>Hi All,
>>> I am selecting records using in clause to select records from a vfp table. I get the following error when I execute the command. SQL expression is to complex. Any work around the in clause limitation.

>>>Local lcwhere

>>>select * from Batch where &lcWhere into cursor cTemp

That should work, too.
