>Terry, I dont disagree with anything you write here. I extensively use the VFP table functions and prefer them over SQL simply because my apps are more this way inclined. But that doesnt address the issue raised by this thread - which, by the way, does not affect me but I was simply trying to enlighten you as to the nuances of the discussion ;)

When the dialog appears, perhaps we should squint our eyes and pretend it's a VFP error message - it is the result of an error. Just because it don't smell like an error message is no reason we should not view it as one!

Am I correct - the dalog only appears when the programmer erroneously neglected to open a file before a select was issued?:0
