>>Yeah they were. I just did some experiments and found when you use the SDT expression builder button in the expression & filter fields. Both of them put the table name in the expressions they built. I believe this can be turned off in a preferance for VFP somewhere but I didn't see it in my first look. I you know where it is let me know.

I'm SOOOOOOO sorry Doug I didn't mean to imply it was SDT's fault. I fully realize this is a VFP preferance issue and I corrected it already using one of the other suggestions I got.
I LOOOOOVVVVVVEEEE SDT and would not do with out it. I just got bit by the consiquences of a VFP default setting.
