>>>This is interesting, I didnt even think of using IN. Problem is though for now, any code I write that has to be run on regular basis has to be supported by my FPW 2.6 App. Using IN clause in 2.6 is only supported for a value set. But thanks for the advice, I will look at using this tip when I replace the 2.6 Reporting System App with my VFP 5.0 Data Warehousing App.

>But now with VFP 5.0, IN has 2 uses... it supports the above syntax to limit a field to a hardcoded value set, and to define a subquery to supply a set of values(like you and Ed showed me how to use). Personally, I tend to think in 2.6 mode since I still spend most of my day supporting it. This is why it hadnt occured to me to try using IN when in need of a subquery until you & Ed mentioned it.

You can do the same in 2.6. Ie IN (subquery) :)) So, no difference here.
