However, what has changed is that this program is, for the first time ever, called twice in a row (it's exporting a grid to Excel). However, I have a hard time seeing the relevance -- note the call to AFields(), which uses the same cursor name correctly. So why would DataToClip think the cursor does not exist?

I did this a lot, and I don't remember ever passing parameters. Try

select (lcStruct)
_vfp.datatoclip(,,3)

Omitted parameters default to current alias and all records. So no need to pass them.
