>I am creating a unique cursor in my main prog when the user logs on to a machine based on sys(0). However, the first machine can use the cursor but the second machine can't even though the cursor is a different name. The error is alis not found. It works on second machine if it logs on first.


A cursor cannot used by multiple PCs. It may not even exist on disk. Also, when you do CREATE CURSOR MyCursor, MyCursor is only the alias. The file name will be autogenerated by VFP.
