The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a

SYMPTOMS

When you are creating a query using the Relational Query By Example (RQBE) tool and sending the output to a table/.DBF, the name of the table in the SQL statement is not properly updated if you change the text in the Name box.

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, use the mouse or the TAB key to place the insertion point (cursor) in the Name box, and then choose the See SQL button.

NOTE: Visual FoxPro for Windows uses its Query Designer instead of RQBE.
