I always interpreted as you cannot do this :
>>>
select * from mytable ; && mytable blah blah
>>>   where expr1 = exp1 ;      && blah blah
>>>      and expr2 = exp2 ;     && make sure blah blah
>>>   into cursor myCursor
But this works as if no inline comments there ??? Stumped (funny yesterday I suggested someone to move inline comment to the end of command and it worked afterwards).

Yeah Fred,
>I tested under SP3. I thought it should be working under VFP5 too because I'm modifying, correcting code written by someone else in VFP5. At first I thought I found an error point but after testing :( Well after a registry disaster I lost VFP5 installation. Hope somebody tests for me and if it doesn't work under VFP5 then good I found why code doesn't work as intended :) Thanks.

I just tried this under VFP5/SP3 and VFP6/SP3. It works in both places from a .PRG, but neither one works from the command window.
