A table from inside the exe is read-only; created cursor is readwrite and you may also have a somewhat different set of fields in it (append will make sure it goes by field name and will even do some simpler conversions where field types differ), so if a readwrite cursor is what you need, go for it.

Yes, this is what I did: opened the DBF right from the EXE. And I don't need to change any values, just read them. Thank you.
