Some pretty simple details. For example, why and in what event you found that cursor disappeared. The only way to 'disappear' cursor (within the same form) is to close it. If, for some reason, you open another table/cursor in the same work area then the previous alias is gone. BTW, are you aware that creating a cursor you just get an alias linked to some memory area, i.e. not exactly physical file?
