Terry,

Here's the code that my dataenvironment creation program generated for the cursor. When I issue the call to OpenTables, the cursor is opened in the appropriate buffering mode. Perhaps, the alias needs to be set as well:

This.AddObject("Cursor1", "cursor")
WITH This.Cursor1
  .CursorSource = "warpdata"
  .Alias = "warpdata"
  .BufferModeOverride = 5
  .Order = "date"
  .Database = "warping.dbc"
ENDWITH

You might try making that change and see if it does the trick. I'll test as well.
