Cathy:

I am possibly down to a couple of questions.

When I run report writer from within Foxpress 2.36 it creates a query which looks like the mess of syntex I sent to you eairler. The procedure for calling the foxpress query is resient in a menu procedure.

The end user sometimes makes a date range for the inventory card of the inventory he has entered. I am wondering why the function call from the variable isn't creating the Tmpcursor since I placed the create tmpCursor within the function as below

FUNCTION FillPict

*-- Create a cursor and add a dummy record
CREATE CURSOR tmpCursor (MyPicture G)
APPEND BLANK

* Get the name
PUBLIC lcFile

lcFile = alltrim(inventor.imgpath)
** create **

* Add the picture to the cursor
SELECT tmpCursor
APPEND GENERAL MyPicture FROM &lcFile

* Restore the table
SELECT Inventor
RETURN ''


If you have any other ideas in getting this thing to work. I think I am almost there buy I am missing something.
