Hi,

First of all, I would like to confirm my understanding of your issue. From
your description, I understand that you need to insert certain rows from
free table A to free table B in a Foxpro database using ado. If there is
any misunderstanding, please feel free to let me know.

Based on the "Syntax error" message, it seems that SELECT clause in the
INSERT INTO statement is not supported by Foxpro ODBC driver, although it
is supported in Visual Foxpro.

So I suggest you find a place to store data from Table A and then insert
them into Table B. Or it's better to use Access or SQL server to do this,
because it would be much more convenient.

HTH.

Kevin Yu
