>Thanks for the tip. The issue was not with scatter/gather. I have a routine that exports data in the form of a free table. I use a SELECT-Sql to create my free table. That is truncating my field names to 10 charachters. SO when I go to scatter/gather, they arent getting populated, the field names dont match up. The exported table needs to remain free.

Does it need to be a real table, or can it be a cursor instead? Cursors can have fields with long names.
