Hoi Walter,

Yes it works. Thanks.

DOCMD("select * from tableX into cursor whatever")

select * from tableX into cursor whatever

>>It is apparently the case that the SQL-Select code is trying to access the physical table, even though it is already open. It can't find the physical table and then tries to locate it in the current module (APP or EXE). It is not there and so it comes with a message.

Constructive frustration is the breeding ground of genius.
If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
