Thanks all. With that I was able to update the two tables that I needed to but I have hit another stumbling block. Can I open and work on multiple tables from within FoxPro by querying them one at a time? Or do I need to pull the data in one join that gets me all the line items in one select? I think that it is just me wrapping my head around a different method of accessing data that is slowing me down somewhat.
