Superficially, what you're trying to do here should work.

How many fields are common to both tables, and what are their names (looking for reserved word field names here)?

How many non-common fields are in the source and destination tables?

Do you have a primary key in the destination table? If so, and you're not supplying a unique key value for each new record INSERTed, VFP will complain.

Is the destination table part of a database (.DBC), and are there any record-level database triggers in place?
