>It's the fact that, if you supply, say "A", "B" when you do a USE view and VFP prompts you for ?lcProcess, only those values where the 'process' field equals "A" are returned. Also, how would you supply two values to a variable programmatically?

I suspect this is due to a misunderstanding of the "IN" clause, one which I'd also made.
It must be that "IN" is for comparing fields with a field in a subselect
( eg "WHERE xyz IN (SELECT field FROM yourtable)"
rather than a real list (which only exists in that form in the "INLIST" function.

Try using "WHERE INLIST( yourfield, "A","B")
It's not even too slow <g>
