>Are you still getting the "beyond string" errors? You say your SELECT doesn't
work, but we can't see what code you've got in your WHERE clause, etc, because of the macros. Maybe it's something in there? Is this VFP5 or 6? I seriously doubt that M$ will fix any more bugs in VFP5...

Yes, as I said, I'm still getting the same 62 Error, if I uncomment these lines in VFP5.0. If I comment them, it doesn't complain. In VFP6.0 it works fine in both cases. The similar SQL works fine in FPD2.6 also.

These are variables in macros:

lcYear=thisform.txtYear.value && Year to proceed
lcWhere=thisform.where() && Pick up geography
lcWhere=iif(empty(lcWhere),'',lcWhere+' and ')+'aa.CCODE+aa.TOWN=bb.County+bb.TOWN'
lcState=thisform.cmbState.displayvalue && Selected state

OutPutDir='J:\REDP\Output\ATD\' && OutPut Directory for ATD
lcTempTable=OutPutDir + 'PrntATD'
lcSourceTbl=lcState+"SAL"+right(lcYear,2) && Sales file for this year (Source file)

Thanks in advance.
