>>>I'm trying to select a table from a method, but keep getting a message referring to an unknown object. Why would my program think the table I'm trying to select is an object? When I got the error, I went to the command window to see if the table was there and opened and it was.

>>I had that error - it turned out I'd misspelled a field name. The error wasn't on the SELECT line, but the next line where it was looking for the field (Mytable.Myfield). The '.' in the syntax led VFP to look for an object when it couldn't find the table/field combination.

Could it be that you use private data session and table you want to select resides in another data session?
