VFP is complaining that I need to create NEWDIVS with SELECT...TO TABLE, whereas I am using SELECT...TO CURSOR.

Oooohhh! I think I see what's happening! I created NewDivs with a SELECT statement (SELECT * FROM Divs WHERE Proj_No = "20524.00" INTO CURSOR NewDivs) - but instead of creating a new table, VFP did a USE AGAIN on the original table with a filter (baaad fox)! I'll need to alter my first select statement in such a way to prevent VFP from doing that.

I seem to remember an article about this many, many moons ago.

I'd like to do it without altering the structure of the cursor, since I'm ultimately gonna APPEND FROM it. Any suggestions?
