UPDATE. I found the cause of the problem. When the column name is greater than 10 characters, you cannot change it. Strange though that VFP allows creating a cursor with a column with the name greater than 10 char, but won't allow to change the name.

Hi,

I want to change a cursor column name. When I do it in the Command window, it works. Here is the code:
cCursorName = "MyCursor"
cFieldFrom = "FieldName1"
cFieldTo = "FieldName2"
alter table (cCursorName) rename (cFieldFrom) to (cFieldTo)
So the above works without a problem in the Command window.

But when I have pretty much the same code in the .PRG of the program, I get error:
Error 1115
Invalid Operation for the Cursor
Could someone explain why? TIA
