Hi Weston,

Are you absolutely certain that you are getting a 'temp' .DBF and not a "filtered result set"? To be certain, add a "NOFILTER" clause to your Select statement.

If that's not it, might you have (as Bruce C. asked) a filter active?

I'm betting on the filtered result set though.

Good luck,

Jim n
