No, but ti always creates temp files that it uses for a number of things, including cursors.

>I'm again assuming no, (because I couldn't find them!) .If the system has enough memory, I have a feeling it is just stored in memory. This said, I've noticed that VFP creates a small(like 7K) file everytime in the temp area. What is this? My app is creating several cursors, but I only see the first one created when the app is started.

It's using temp files for some internal operations; nothing in particular to worry about. During the course of performing a SELECT operation, it's likely that lots of temp files are being created and blown away; the places where VFP uses temp files are much more extensive than to hold temporary cursor data.
