Hi John
>I have a statment that is : [ select rscedesc from rac ]

You have not specified a destination for the SELECT, that is why you are getting a browse window (VFP Default behavior!).

Either use:

select rscedesc from rac INTO CURSOR cur_results

or, if you want the result set to be persistent:

select rscedesc from rac INTO TABLE

or, directly into an Array

select rscedesc from rac INTO ARRAY laFiles
