>Hi...I want to create a temporary table or cursor to accept data input and feed it into my master dbf. Why a temp table? Well, I have to make 3 or 4 calculations on just that data and I feel it will be much faster with a temp.

You can use the NO FILTER clause to write your cursor to the disk. Then it will be an editable cursor.
