>what is tlAddTypes?

Invoke with function with .t. if you want to create a string for CREATE CURSOR. Otherwise it would just list you the fields, e.g. field1, field2, etc., which is convenient for using in SELECT statements.

>>>I am not saying it well. I want to add to my project a CREATE CURSOR command. The cursor I want to create is an exact match of another table that is not part of my project and not available to my application. So right now, in the project manager, I need to get the table definition of the VFP Free table and paste it as a CREATE CURSOR in my code. I do not want to hand type the CREATE CURSOR since it is a table with many fields.
