Hi George,

I suppose that if *NO* records got selected on a machine then there would be no cursor, so the last select in effect would appear in DBF().

Cheers,

On the other computer, the name of the cursor is stored and when I see what's in CFILE I get "C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\41IB000V.TMP"

The second instance sounds fine to me. Don't forget that the cursor file is temporary and will be destroyed when the cursor is closed. VFP automatically generates a random file name that has nothing to do with the alias and stores it in the location with the rest of its temporary files.
