Hi Cindy,

Sorry for the delayed reply... been busy. :)

Anyway, from what I recall, this technique was being used in one of our Fox 2.x systems we use internally. Since it happened a long time ago, I can't remember the specifics, but I do remember it rendered a part of our system unusable. We quickly changed the SQL statement to use INTO TABLE instead of the USE (DBF()) technique and the problems disappeared completely.

Sorry I'm unable to be more specific. It's been a while since I've done that. :)
