I'm going to take a wild guess here (not having seen the same error myself), and assume that you did a SELECT which resulted in a filtered table, rather than a temporary file. You can try SELECT...INTO CURSOR crsrTable NOFILTER, and VFP will be quite happy. (At least, 5 will -- I'm not sure about 3.)
