Thanks for the explanation Ted. At least I know for future. And yes Macros

are magic. I miss them in c#

Almost. VFP compiles once, but a macro is a very special,

bordering-on-magic, in-place immediate compile: at the point when the

line is to be executed, VFP evaluates the current value of tlist,

executes/evaluates that, and puts that in the INLIST function,

effectively having to compile the whole line to figure out what that

means, and that's what throws the error.
