Martina,
- Check if table SUPPLIER contain field DESCRIPTOR
- for string constants use '' instead ""
- run the same SELECT in MySQL SQL Browse
- Supplier contains the field DESCRIPTOR.
- Do you mean use single quotes instead of double quotes? WHY?
- I ran this in MySQL Query Browser. It works. In VFP side, it will first display the error message I have shown, but continue on to display the correct results!
