Sergey -

I'm probably breaking protocol here but since you helped me with an earlier part on this I thought it might be OK to ask you directly,

If I SELECT from a table that is not currently open into a cursor, the source table is opened in the process. If the source table is in a variable, how can I then close it so it is available to other programs?

lcSourcetable = 'd:\mydir\mytable'
SELECT * from (lcsourcetable) into cursor crsNew
** release the source table
use in (lcSourceTable) && doesn't seem to work
