I am curious as to why you used the NOFILTER parameter? The VFP docs below indicate there is a performance hit and the temporayr table is not updateable per my test. You can close a cursor created with "SELECT * FROM myfile INTO CURSOR myquery" with "use in myquery".
If I am wrong, please advise.

From VFP 6 help:
"Include NOFILTER to create a cursor that can be used in subsequent queries.....
Including NOFILTER can reduce query performance because a temporary table is created on disk. The temporary table is deleted from disk when the cursor is closed."
