No.... The commands I typed are from the msql command prompt, NOT the VFP command window. It is similar syntax and commands, but venture much further and they (commands) start to diverge a lot more. You can easily connect to mysql tables via ODBC (as was recently discussed here), or you can feed data into your tables from the msql command prompt with INSERT commands. The SQL syntax for VFP versus mySql is virtually the same as I recall. BUT mySql enforces (can't remember what the name if it is called) 'proper' GROUP BY syntax, whereas VFP let's you be pretty free form.
