1) The table doesn't have to exist, but the cursor can't be simply a filter on a larger table (use either CREATE CURSOR or SELECT .. NOFILTER to guarantee this). 2) It doesn't have to match exactly, only for the fields that you want to append. 3) That would require going through each row in the cursor, checking datestamps, etc. and can't be done from a simple APPEND (but it is possible). 4) APPEND FROM cCursorAlias won't work because the APPEND FROM looks for a real filename, rather than an alias name. APPEND FROM &cCursorDBF works. >Does the table exist? >Does it have the same structure as the cursor? >Do you want to synchronize information between them?
