Good point. The only place we need to use macro is fields and where clauses (and join if we build it as string). So, we can try to minimize its usage.

Though I'm not sure what is quicker:

lcSelect = whole select string
&lcSelect

or

select &lcFields from (lcTable) &lcJoin where &lcWhere into table (lcTable)
