W/o code all I could say are theories shooting in the dark (timer, refresh, trigger etc). You could 'force' using alias there :

do while !eof('fixtures')
mpos = recno('fixtures')
..
go mpos in 'fixtures'
skip in 'fixtures'
etc


If you're determining what records should be copied to a temp table might it be possible with a select ?
select ... from fixtures where ... into table TempTable
