Hi Michelle,

>USE DBF() ALIAS testcur AGAIN

This needs to be

USE (DBF()) ALIAS testcur AGAIN IN 0

Without the () you are looking for a file called dbf().dbf, and without the IN 0 you actually are closing the cursor. USE will close whatever is in the current wa and then open the new file, thats why you can do:

USE Table SHARED
USE Table EXCL
