Hi Greg,

Would CURSORTOXML() and XMLTOCURSOR() work for you? Check also How to pass cursor between two VFP datasessions (without using XML) FAQ #29297


>Yes this would be a possiblity. However, the form only opens cursors that are destroyed when the form closes. Having a table instead of a cursor creates files (memo included) on the pc that I didn't want to create.

>In particular this is for the menu editor that is now available in the download section -- a person suggested a feature to be able to cut-n-paste nodes from one menu to another menu. The current implementation of the menu editor uses a cursor for the menu while editing and another cursor to hold the "clipboard" of a menu node. This "clipboard" cursor is what is needed to be shared -- so it needs to be persisted and shared independently of the form instances. I would prefer not to have a file persist after the closing of all forms and subsequent shutdown of VFP. Using a cursor in a custom session is destroyed with the shutdown -- so it is "clean".
