Hi David,

Interesting place to work :)

Try just ALTER TABLE myCursor ...

Also you would not be able to change your cursor in field names are longer than 10 characters.

>I created a cursor in my application.
>as follow: SELECT field1,fields2...... into cursor smf2 readwrite
>
>before running a report on this cursor I wanted to add some fields which I couldnt add them at the begining.

>ALTER TABLE DBF(m_alias) ADD COLUMN age c(4)
>
>I get the following error
>Structural .CDX file is not found.
