>Is there a way to use the VFP query builder to build 'action' queries? (to use an Access term). I can't find how to build an update, insert, delete, or create table query within VFP. The builder only allows selects. I have been typing queries into text files and renaming them! I know this is probably a very silly and basic question, but I have been learning from books and help files, and I just can't find how to do it in VFP. Thanks for your help and patience.

insert, update, and delete queries are to be written out -- no builder. most people would use table buffering and append blank, delete, then tableupdate()...
