>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.

Right. I do it this way too. For instance, if I create a cursor in Statistics method or Print method of my form, I close it immediatelly, after the method is finished. BTW, thanks for the remainder, I'll check my Statistics methods again to be sure, that cursor is closed.

Yep, just checked it, and I forgot to close. So I did it now :)
