Please ignore this entire thread.

I was reporting a real problem and I have resolved it.

Turns out I had some weird combination of a form where DataToClip was being invoked before the form ever had focus, and DataToClip was then refering to the calling form's datasession. Don't ask why I'm doing that; I wouldn't do that now, and don't know why I did it then.

In any case, problem is gone.

>>>Now, one additional piece of information. I have been using this code for years. It's used every day. 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?
