There was a Tip in Foxpro Advisor somewhere in 2002, something like
use in iif( used(cAlias), cAlias, 0 )
I was one of the people who reacted with an optimization. Actually, mine was
use in select(cAlias)
Everybody agreed that it works, even according to theory.
I'm surprised to notice that Zoran has been using it for over 8 years, although I wonder about the syntax USE SELECT(cAlias). :)
