James,
I tried this with one of my tables and had no problem getting it to work with the following changes I've indicated.

You do not need NOFILTER on this since you are creating a table. Not sure if it's ignored for tables, but if not this will slow down the query.
However, I would recommend continuing to use a cursor - if this app ever needs to be multiuser, you will overwrite one namebred with another at some point.
In that case, keep the NOFILTER, just to be safe since you will want to index it.

Also, name is a keyword in VFP - avoid naming anything (fields, variables, tables, etc) the same as keywords. I don't know if this is causing a problem, but it could be.

select name, yr_bred from master where type = "B" into cursor namebred nofilter

>inde on name to name

Put a GO TOP after creating index, instead of a locate later - it's faster.

change to RecordSourceType = 1
This may be what's giving you the repeated record, I'm not sure....

nix this locate
