Tracy, I did another test form using days of the week like yours. I still got the error. Then I removed the quotes around the CSL statement and it worked! Somewhere in my surfing I had read that the quotes were required but that is apparently incorrect.
More details: 1. When does the SQL get executed? When it is first loaded? Each time the control gets focus? When requiry is called? 2. Are all cursors created this way in scope for the entire VFP system? 3. Is there a simple way to see the VFP code generated by the Form Designer to understand how it works? Thanks so much, Joe On Sun, May 23, 2021 at 11:41 AM Tracy Pearson <tr...@powerchurch.com> wrote: > Hi Joe, > > Those settings are working for me in my quick test. > Does the SQL statement you have in the RowSource work in code? > > As a test I built a cursor with the days of the week in it in the Load > event > of a form. > CREATE CURSOR ComboBoxData (id i, displaytext c(30)) > I set the ComboBox.RowSource to > select displaytext from comboboxdata into cursor t1 > and set the ComboBox.RowSourceType = 3 && SQL statement > > To be consistent with your select statement I added the "distinct" clause > and it still works. > > I tested in VFP 9 SP2 Hotfix 3 > > HTH, > Tracy > > -----Original Message----- > From: ProfoxTech [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Joe > Yoder > Sent: Saturday, May 22, 2021 3:04 PM > To: profoxt...@leafe.com > Subject: Form designer rules? > > I want to use an sql select statement as the row source for a combo box.. > > - When I set the row source type to 3-SQL and enter the row source as > "select space distinct from map into cursor T1" attempting to run the > form > results in "Program error Unrecognized command verb" > - If I set the row source type to 2-Alias and the row source to T1 and > put the SQL select statement into the init method of the control the > Combo > box populates properly. > > I would have expected that the system would be smart enough to run the SQl > statement before trying to use it's output.
