Hi Jerry,

I ran your code in VFP8SP1 and '?' is pesent in both Edit and Delete columns.

>Can someone try the following code to see if they get the same results that I get.
>
>I am trying to create a cursor that I will later use as an HTML table. This cursor has 2 extra columns used as Edit and Delete columns for the HTML table.
>The Edit column is created fine.
>
>The problem is with the Delete column. The string created in the Delete field of the cursor result is missing the question mark.
>
>For example, the string in the Edit field in the cursor looks this:
>/wc.dll?myapp~myproc~ etc...
>But the string in the Delete field in the cursor looks like this:
>/wc.dll myapp~myproc~ etc...
>
>Why is the question mark missing?

>The following 2 examples should be reproduceable.

>Example 1 shows the problem with the missing question mark in the Delete field. I use a constant(TAG1) in both the Edit and Delete fields.
>
>Example 2 works fine but I use a var(lc_tag1) instead of constant(TAG1). But I only use the var in the Delete field. Thats the only way I can make this work.
