Just a thought -- since "append" is not a sql comment, and foreign (pun intended) to an odbc data source do you think changing it to an "insert" might avoid that connect screen? Of course you wouldn't be able to use the same-table subselect in an insert. Since the append is going into RBase I'm thinking not, but just a suggestion.
