Argh!

I'm using VFP7. I'm creating a cursor, then trying to use it again in a SELECT:

CREATE CURSOR Attend(Attender C(8))

FOR i=1 TO lnVars
	INSERT INTO Attend(Attender) VALUES(laAttenders[i])
ENDFOR

This does indeed create a cursor, with several records - but then:

SELECT Attend.*, SchedContribs.UserCode, RECNO('SchedContribs') AS Recordnum ;
	FROM Attend ;
	OUTER JOIN .\Extranet\SchedContribs ;
	ON Attend.Attender=SchedContribs.UserCode ;
	WHERE SchedCode=lcSchedCode ;
	INTO CURSOR TQuery

Reports: "Alias 'ATTEND' is not found." - Even though my data environment clearly shows a workarea with that name (which I can browse). I've tried using DBF('Attend') instead, with the same results.

Any ideas?

TIA
