Nope. Tried that also. What a PITA to be forced to use a SQL View or do it yourself with straight code. All 7 does is eliminate the need to do the following:

USE (dbf('MyCursor')) again in 0 alias crsNewCursor
use in MyCursor
select crsNewCursor

This will be an Enhancement Request for 8.

>>I guess you can only do it for SPT cursors which, BTW, is where I have only done this because almost all my work is in Oracle. IMO, this is a really stupid restriction. I guess you could create a DSN-less connection to that table using SQLStringConnect(). This is sooo convoluted. IF you decide to go this way, get my ODBC_DSN class from UT Downloads.
