Eric,

I've just made this test:
select propid from tranmstr where propid<10000 into cursor curTest nofilter
set
BROWSE LAST
m.PropId=1
insert into curTest from memvar
append blank

I got an Error message: "Cannot update a cursor". Therefore adding NoFilter clause is not enough to make cursor updatable.
