>The regular index on a cursor has forceext(dbf('cursoralias'),'cdx') for a name. There seemed to be some regularity as to which cursors needed this workaround, namely it would be the same cursors each time, in maybe two or three places around the app, while the others indexed regularly. Still, the technique has yet another good side (apart from working each time without a glitch), and that's the ability to create more than one tag on a read-only cursor.

The rule-of-thumb I've established from experience, and found a few older colleagues who did the same, is to delete any of these files if they are more than two days old. That's the empiric measure of when there's no more chance that something may still be using them.
Thanks for sharing with me Dragan. I'm still at a loss at why this behavior occurs. Care to take a stab at it?
