Aaron,
You can use 'alter table' with cursors.
Steven,
To be able to use 'alter table' you need a readwrite cursor, cursor should not be an SPT cursor and should not have any long field names in it. ie:

select * from customer into cursor myCursor readwrite
alter table myCursor ;
drop column contact ;
drop column title ;
drop column address
browse

Hi Cetin,
Unfortunately, what i mentioned happenedly is for SPT cursor.the fields of cursor are dynamically generated at side of SQL Server,in which there is a redundant column as relationship field,couldn't be removed at side of SQL.
Thus i want to remove it at VFP client.Any further ideas on conveting a SPT cursor into a general cursor? Certainly, it can be clone as real dbf then generate another cursor,but i don't like this way.:)
Steven
