First, SQLEXEC() is sending a command to Access to be processed. Access knows nothing about the VFP environment that has sent the command and it has no way to "access" your VFP cursor. You have to do it either all in Access, or all in VFP:

- if in Access, you will probably need to build the SQL SELECT string, perhaps using an IN clause: WHERE AccessEmpIDColumn IN (literal string of values built from your cSelectedIDs memvar)

- if in VFP, you could pull all the info into a VFP cursor with SELECT *, then do another SELECT locally with the two local cursors. The first SELECT * is probably going to be inefficient, though.
