Hi Jim,

>There have been enough reports here to convince me that VFP *will* vary in its choice of filtered vs cursor in the same SQL in the same application.

Do you have an example? In any case I've seen so far, the result only depends on the SELECT statement, several settings like SET COLLATE and the indexes of the table. But I haven't seen anything where those parameters remain the same and nonetheless VFP produced different output.
