>>Walter has the correct answer for you, but to add to his response, if you use the technique of USE AGAIN, you want to make sure you build the first tag on the cursor in the original work area. Build any additional tags in the new work area. If you build all the tags, including the first one, in the new work area, then VFP doesn't delete the CDX when you close the cursor.

You're right. It looks like they've fixed it, although Russ said he did see that behavior, so he may be running an older version.
