Well to start, this problem was discussed recently in the thread, "Cannot update the cursor Thread #464892 Message #464892" and the same advice to check to see if the table was included in the project was given in the answers.

When you add a database or a table to a project, they are excluded by default (note crossed-out circle icon in project manager)

This is also discussed in Chapter 13, "Compiling an Application" in the Programmer's Guide. Scroll down to the "Referencing Modifiable Files" section where it says,

"Often, files that are part of your project, such as tables, are intended to be modified by users. In those cases, you should add the files to your project but mark them as excluded. Excluded files are still part of your application, so Visual FoxPro still tracks them as part of your project, but they are not compiled in the application file, so users can update them.

Note Tables are marked as excluded by default, because Visual FoxPro assumes that tables will be modifiable in an application.
