I have something very strange happening and am wondering if anyone else has experienced it.

I am attempting to create a temporary table at runtime. If I run through the code like normal, my table does not get created. The thing that has me boggled is when I "set step on" the line prior to the "create table" line in the debugger, copy and paste the "create table" line to the Fox Command Window and execute the line from there, the table gets created.

I have the following code in my VFP 5.0 application:

*******************************************
lcTableName = oapp.lctemp+'realtime.dbf'
** 'oapp.lctemp' represents the runtime path, usually 'c:\temp\'
CREATE TABLE &lcTableName free ;
(group C(50), name C(50), inst_id I(4), date D, time C(8) ;
,serial C(10) ,oper C(6) ,var N(13, 5), attr C(15) ;
,min N(13, 5), aim N(13, 5), max N(13, 5) ;
,llim1 N(13, 5), ulim1 N(13, 5), llim2 N(13, 5), ulim2 N(13, 5) ;
,llim3 N(13, 5), ulim3 N(13, 5), llim4 N(13, 5), ulim4 N(13, 5) ;
,llim5 N(13, 5), ulim5 N(13, 5), llim6 N(13, 5), ulim6 N(13, 5) ;
,llim7 N(13, 5), ulim7 N(13, 5), llim8 N(13, 5), ulim8 N(13, 5) ;
,comment M ,rslt_id C(6), reqt_id C(6), comp_occ C(15) ;
, reqt_occ C(15))
*******************************************

Is there something I need to do differently to create the temporary table from my source?

Thanks in advance for your help.

P.S. I am creating many other temporary tables throughout my application the same way and haven't experienced this problem before.
