>APPEND FROM (lcIncoming) DELIMITED WITH CHARACTER |
>
>The line above gives me an COMMAND CONTAINS UNRECOGNIZED PHRASE/KEYWORD.
>
>lcIncoming = "DT102DE.ES01" and the file does exist -- and the CURDIR() is the directory where the file exists.
>I'm running Foxpro 3.0b under Win2000.
>Any suggestions? This works from the command line.

>Thanks! -- Gerry
