Hi Tom,
I discovered it by accident in my first VFP client-server work when looking at some SQL code that was automatically generated by a remote view a few years back.
>The reason I asked was that I didn't connect as the dbo, so I didn't understand why "dbo." should work. I didn't find "dbo." in any doc, so I'm delighted to have the answer from you and John. (That doesn't mean it isn't there somewhere!) I just wonder how you discovered it.
