Michael --

PMFJI, but I must be missing something simple in SP.

When I created a SQL temp table and joined on it, I had to put the final query in a separate VFP SQLEXEC -- or a separate batch -- in order to get a result set returned to VFP. Putting all SP commands in a single string returned no records.

I'd like to use table variables to reduce overhead and cleanup. But, when using table variables, I find the same behavior -- no result set -- to VFP in a single batch. Separate batches won't work as the variable goes out of scope.

For fun, I tried using returning multiple sets, but that didn't appear to work either.

Any thoughts?

TIA,


Jay
