>>>How do I force the Expression Builder to display the 'From Table:' combo box? Currently using VFP 5.0a service pack 3. This combo box controls the display of 'Fields'. 'From Table:' showed in version 2.x, and is documented in the HELP file for VFP 5.0a. What am I missing?

>>The fields, provided they're in tables in the report's DE, will appear in the fields list box. No drop down, however.

>Thanks. From what you are saying, the documentation is incorrect, and there is no 'From Table:' combo box in VFP 5.0a; instead, all forms must now have their own DE record to reference any fields in open tables, regardless of the public data session -- Right?

For reports and forms, yes. In other circumstances, no. Try: GETEXPR TO foo with a couple of tables open. There, at the botton below the list of fields in the current work area, you'll see the drop down.
