Problems with cursor names in VFP 9
I am moving a VFP 6 app to VFP 9 and running into problems with cursors. This happens with both kinds of cursors, the kind created by SELECT INTO CURSOR as well as CREATE CURSOR. These cursors are being created in the C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp folder and have names such as 00002m8900cz.tmp. This application frequently creates cursors and then appends to real tables with APPEND FROM (lcDBF), where lcDBF is the saved DBF() name of the cursor. APPEND FROM is not working correctly, I believe because it does not like filenames starting with numeric characters. What can I do to get around this?
Not sure exactly when this broke -- could be VFP 7, 8, or 9.
Thanks in advance!
Mike
