I am cluesless. I do the same all the time, but I always start with a blank cursor. What happens if you do the same?

Create cursor myCursor1 .........
Select ... into cursor temp1 readwrite && Your first select statement
Select myCursor1
Append from dbf('temp1')
Select ... into cursor temp1 readwrite && Your second select statement
Select myCursor1
Append from dbf('temp1')
