Hi all, I'm having a problem with SQL and the use of a 'sales' database (defined using BDE), can anyone shed some light on this please? The first code sample below works OK but when the 'group by' clause is added (sample 2), the table is not saved to the specified 'sales' database (the 'sales' database exists on a network drive and is defined in the BDE Administrator) but to the directory that the 'tables' tab is set to in the Navigator at the time the program is run. Sample 1 ----------- open database sales set database to sales select year_date, customer, tonnes; from :sales:budget; save to :sales:summary.dbf sample 2 ---------- open database sales set database to sales select year_date, customer, sum(tonnes) tonnes; from :sales:budget; group by year_date, customer; save to :sales:summary.dbf I have also tried this with other tables with the same result. TIA....Robert.
