Alex,

I can't get past wondering why you're needing a table on the hard drive. There was one of these "template tables" in an application I inherited and the first thing I did was to put the template on the network and use AFIELDS() and CREATE CURSOR FROM ARRAY... to make a cursor from the table. The resulting cursor was writeable too!

What that doesn't allow for is a particular batch of data that persists from session to session. If you're using ODBC you could use an offline view.

But of course none of my curiousity helps you with your question! ;-)
