In this case he wants to append from a cursor into a table on a MSSQL server, and that isn't possible with your approach.

>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")
