>This is a know problem [at least by me] that you can not parameterize an IN() clause. If your mcProg parameter just has 1 values in it, it will work. The problem is in having to have quotes around each value. There is no way to just pass '000609','000172','001113' without addition surrounding double-quotes. Now if you do not predefine the value of mcProj, and let VFP prompt you for the list, it will work with more than 1 value.

Thanks Mark. I can't do the first option because the number of choices is variable but the macro substitution worked great. John K. gave me the same suggestion on a similar thread but it wouldn't work. There must have been something else wrong with my SELECT that the error message wasn't alluding to.
