Dennis,

I've encountered the same problem. It's seems to be either a BUG or an inproriate error message for a VFP limitation. The only solution I could come up with is to split up the SQL statement into 2 others.

Walter,

>Received the error message 'too many subqueries'. It didn't seem right to me. (Partly because I understood a subquery to be something different.)

>I did a very simple query. All INNER JOINS on one primary table. There were approximately 11 INNER JOINS to that table. I am pretty confident about my SQL SELECT statement. Just to be sure I used the query interface (builder?) to do the same thing. It build essentially the same code and the same error occurred.
