Thank you. Therefore I understand the I don't need to change my code of creating this cursor, in order to make the file name unique.

>VFP may not create a physcal dbf at all but when it does, it's in VFP temporary folder with some temp name which suppose to be unique

>>

>>CREATE CURSOR CUR_TBLNAME (.. list of columns in the cursor )

>>does VFP create this cursor in a TEMP folder as a random name (physical dbf file) or it always going to be the same name?
>>
>>The reason I am asking is one customer a few days ago ran into a problem where when creating an index tag for this temp cursor they were getting the message that the .cdx file already existed. Non other customers ever got this problem. I am thinking that it could be because of a glitch with the customer that had a problem. Or maybe I am not creating the cursor with a truly random .dbf file name.
