>I have a cursor (VFP50a, Win95) which has a filename assigned, which can be read with dbf(). However, the file does NOT exist in the temp file. I've checked that the temp directory DOES exist, and that the cursor exists - I can browse it. However, I can't access it with the filename.

You do not have control over whether a cursor gets written to disk or not. If there is not enough physical memory to hold the cursor, the disk is used.
