Normand,

First you need to check if you have fields longer than 10 characters. ALTER TABLE command doesn't work on cursors with fields longer than 10 characters since it needs to create a physical free table first.

I get the error 1115 (Invalid operation on the cursor) on every alter table line that I have. That error states that VFP is trying to do a PACK and cannot do it.
