Bela,

I often do this by creating a one-row cursor containing the constant integer and doing a cartesian join with the required fields from the table.

E.G.
create cursor const (const I)
insert into const values (0)
select last_name, const ;
  from (home(2) + 'data\employee'), const
list stru
Cheers,

Andrew

If we were to introduce Visual FoxBase+, would we be able to work from the dotNet Prompt?
