There is a compatibility bug in the VFP6 runtime in dealing with project embedded tables. In order to reference these tables in a runtime situation, you need to reference the file name VFP6 is generating. Use the DBF() command to get the file name then in the FROM clause use this name instead of your alias or file name. So for example if you file is CUSTOMERS:

lcfilename = DBF('CUSTOMERS')

SELECT * FROM &lcfilename
