MI-L using a string for a where clause

[Nicolas Muszynski]

Hello all,
 
In mapbasic I am trying to code a "select * from table_name where
certain_conditions" clause but I need to have the table_name variable as
well as the certain_conditions.  MapBasic doesn't seem having any
trouble reading a variable of type string for the table_name but it
doesn't seem to read the variable Certain_conditions for the where
clause conditions.  The only way the where clause works is if it is hard
coded.  Any ideas or solutions? 
 
Thank You
