Joe,

Foxpro considers INTO CURSOR TEMPNAME a separate command because there are two blank lines before it. It shoud give you "Unrecognized command verb" error on this line. Remove those two blank lines and a cursor will be created.

SELECT project.number, project.dateneeded, project.priority, ;
       project.desc, project.status, project.program, project.dpt, ;
       project.programmer, project.psc ;
   FROM project ;
   WHERE programmer = "EX" ;
   INTO CURSOR TEMPNAME

Add INTO CURSOR < cursorname > to that select too.
