>>If it is a single cursor, why don't you build that cursor with an explicit rownum added to the end (which will force it to be physical as well) and select n-1 fields from the cursor if you really don't trust recno() of the cursor - still easy to generalize for different table structures for automatic processing, as long as source table has not max fields.

either create the SQL field list once outside the loop in the method itself on the fly and call the SQL as a macro
or
use COPY TO ARRAY FIELDS EXCEPT FOR blabla syntax if you feel exceptionally lazy and are not afraid this old xBase-way will removed in the next version ;-))
