Agnes,
Yes == in SQL is different and shortcut for Set Ansi On. However why should that be a problem :
set filter to myField == myVal

If myVal is not the same size as the field itself filtering would be selecting no records, something like 'set filter to .f.'

IOW it's the filter causing problem there not the SQL.
