>I am new to this SQL stuff, and in need of advice. I am creating an SQL statement INTO a cursor. However, that cursor is read-only, and I would like to alter the information. I prefer to use a cursor, because it cleans up so easily. What is the best way to create an updateable cursor using SQL, or should I just do it the old fashioned way and scan through the table and build my own cursor (which is updateable)

Try this

USE DBF("myCursor") IN 0 AGAIN ALIAS myUpdateableCursor
