Tore is correct that a cursor exists only in VFP "memory" and you cannot APPEND from a cursor: however there is a trick to get around that.

Cursors may _look_ like they only exist in memory, but they are on disk in a temporary file. You can use DBF() to get the name of that file and append like this:

select 0
create cursor foo1 (test1 c(10), test2 c(10))
&& put some records in the cursor
select 0
use foo5  
append from dbf("foo1")
