Kurt, the SQL you are using is considered invalid or at least ambiguous. According to ANSI SQL standards you need to include all fields that are not aggregated in the group by. VFP used to accept this invalid SQL and you can change a setting to allow it again, but you should really adjust your SQL to make it a valid query.
