>>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.

create cursor mycursor (description c(50))
Note that the field name is greater than 10 char. And I could not change the name.
