The letters a-j are reserved words in VFP. Maybe VFP just get confused because of that. Try to change 'c' to something else at least 2 char long.

>returns different results when run in the VFP environment than when it runs in an exe. In VFP, the "c.Description" field is populated, like it should be. When it's compiled into an exe, it doesn't get filled in (unless I run the exe in VFP). Is there something I'm missing here? I'm very lost.
