I'm not saying after the form is done. You may only need a cursor for a single method. If so, close it when you're done. I've had report prgs that require many SQL SELECTs into cursors, that are then combined and/or summarized. I close them as soon as I'm done with them. I've noticed a severe slowdown in VFP when I keep lots of unneeded cursors open.
