The cursor is created Read-Only and you can only create 1 index.

There is a FAQ in the kb about making a cursor rewritable,

Something like:

use dbf("cMyCursor") in 0 again alias MyCursor

Then you can make more than 1 index

>I changed my mind and have a second question. To continue this discussion, since I'm dealing with a CURSOR, what do you do if you want to change the index to something else? I just tried and I get a message saying that "10943510.tmp is read only". The way I did this is as follows:
>
>** SQL command that created the cursor:
>blah blah blah into cursor PDETS
>index on pe tag pe
> *** THIS WORKED BEAUTIFULLY, just like I expected
>
>** then I executed other code using the cursor,
>select fileX
>set relation to pe into PDETS
> blah blah etc
>
>** now I want to reindex on another field and do other stuff
>sele PDETS
>index on name tag name
>
>this is when I get the error message. I can rerun the sql and then issue the index (thus blowing away the tmp file and recreating a new one), but that's not really what I want to do. At least when I specified the index name I never ran across this. Any advice appreciated.
