Russ,

This is because the cursor is read-only. In this case you're allowed to add only one index tag.

To overcome this limitation, you've got two options.

1. Make a SQL - view and index this one.
2. USE(DBF("CursorAlias")) AGAIN ALIAS newalias IN 0. and index this newalias with any number of tags.

Walter,
