Hi Sergey,

>Becouse there is no reason to implement it this way.

Reason there is, code is fast and cleaner.

>The correct way to use it according to VFP help is
INSERT INTO (ALIAS()) .....

Where ?

>IMO, it shouldn't work the way it works in other SQL command either.

Strange, VFP have 4 command,
3 support a (ALIAS()) and ALIAS() ( VFPT do more job for get they)
and 1 support only ALIAS() ( a obvious forgetfulness of VFPT )
and you conclude that the VFPT has made 3 errors on 4.

I apply this rules:
- "on unknown process i must choose the minimum cost choice"
- "on unknown process i must choose the most probable event"
- "if on unknown process the minimum cost choice and the most probable event
are the same, then I am much neighbor to the truth"
