I get the weird behaavior even when I do this:

lcSql = "select distinct student.cid from  " +;
	"iepoint!student left outer join iepoint!facts on student.cid = facts.cStudentid " +;
	"left outer join iepoint!IEP3744_CONF on student.cid = IEP3744_CONF.cStudentid " +;
	"left outer join iepoint!enrollment on student.cid = enrollment.cStudentid " +;
	"where " + lmAllStuRules + " into cursor crsStudentsWhoMatchRules NOFILTER "
&lcSql

Still results are displayed in a browse window, and not set to a cursor.
