A word of warning about this.

VFP 6 does not support READWRITE, so Hugo's statements are what you need to do. BUT VFP 6 does support NOFILTER. If you don't use that clause, you could wind up having a filtered view to the main table and when you open the cursor again you are really opening the underlying table again WITHOUT THE FILTER. You could easily be updating records you never intended to touch.
