I don't know why you are suggesting using the SELECT INTO ARRAY. It's an extra step. Plus, you have the overhead of knowing what structure to create the cursor in. IAC, just to clarify, you can SELECT INTO a cursor directly. In fact, this is what you want to do when using combo's with sql rowsources.
