Michelle,

Assuming your cursor is called mycursor, this should work:

USE DBF('mycursor') AGAIN IN 0 ALIAS mycursor2

Also, you need to make sure that you have an actual dbf and not just a filter of your original table. You can do that using the NOFILTER clause of SELECT:

SELECT * FROM mytable INTO CURSOR mycursor NOFILTER
