Coding, syntax & commands
Craig,
As you can see in the sample code, he *did* assign (sql) aliases. It does not seem unreasonable to assume that SQL would use the self-same alias as has been supplied, when one *has* been supplied.
I know of the Help warning, but I have to doubt that *this* is the reason.
Cheers,
Jim N

>>I have not been able to make it work. What is selected as the RECNO() in each case is the record in customer or order what was initially being pointed to when the SELECT command was issued. For instance, if the pointer in customer.dbf was at record 100 and the pointer in order was at record 50 when you issued the SELECT command as above, you would get two columns as follows:
>>
>>100 50
>>100 50
>>100 50
>>100 50

>>for as many records as were selected.
