>>The error I'm getting is "Cursor cannot be modified because it contains an unsaved record". The cursor is made by create cursor (and in later version, select * ... readwrite from that cursor, same result). The record was not changed, the cursor is just populated from an .ini file - in one version via append from array, in other via insert. There's no buffering, nothing, no underlying table, no database engine connected.

I wonder how does "save" apply to this situation in the first place. There's no save, this is a readwrite cursor without an underlying table, there's no buffering. I tried with tableupdate() after every change (i.e. after inserting the record, after changing the record), still the same. What does "unsaved" mean on a totally private exclusive cursor?
