Your mbx has neglected to issue the command:

drop table selection

(this just deletes the graphic selection map, not the selection
itself.)

or when it did its selection it didn't use the "noselect" option
in the Select statement, e.g.:

Select * from <table> into <tmp-table> noselect

If you don't need to create a "selection", then using the
"noselect" option is a more efficient. You will still have the
results in <tmp-table>, but you won't have the graphic selection
showing. IMHO, "noselect" is a very under-used and over-needed
option in most mbx applications.
