Will,

What is it you need? Will Select ..... INTO TABLE.. accomplish your goal?

>>I have noticed a similar behavior. Place a breakpoint just before your SELECT statement. In the debug watch window place DBF("pa_prsrch"). When the cursor is made you should see a file name with the temporaray file path. But if you look on the disk (throught the explorer), you may not find it. I do not know if this is a problem or not... just one of those mysteries.
