>>I have recently acquire VFP6 and am trying to adapt a VFP5 app. I have a number of pages with grids populutated using either a Select SQL or a QPR. They work perfectly in VFP5, but in 6 I get an 'alias not found' error before the form even loads. The alias is the cursor which is the result of the SQL Select in the Grid Recordsource.

I will give this a try, but what a hassle to remove about 20 sql statements, save them somewhere else and then later have to copy them in again. Surely this is not what the Microsoft Development team envisaged when they encourage people to update from version 5 to 6!?
