Terry,
When selecting to cursor (I never select into table, thats why I don't know if this is true) Long field names are preserved
Try this:
CLOSE DATABASES ALL
CREATE DATABASE TestData
SET DATABASE TO TestData
CREATE TABLE Test (VeryLongNameOverTenChars C(10))
INSERT INTO Test VALUES ("AAAAA")
CLOSE DATABASES ALL
SELECT * FROM Test INTO CURSOR cTest
