Hi Justy,

Write your SQL command to a file then use FILETOSTR() to create your string.

You should be able to execute a command up to 8192 characters in length. So you will need to test the length before executing the string.

If 8192 is too small, strip out indentation from the string and use ALIAS to shorten the SQL expression.

A final measure is to carry out multiple SQL selections in stages as the user works down your form.
