>MY PROBLEM was that after issue a select clause 'into cursor xxx nofilter', file(dbf("xxx")) returns .f. and in the temp folder does occurs nothing. But if you issue 'use (dbf("xxx")) in 0 again...' that works. What's hapening? I've tested that in my machine a lot (Windows 98, VFP 5.0 SP3)

It seemed to me, that FILE() doesn't work properly, but DBF(), which is more important, works Ok.
