>>What may be the case also, is that simply creating a cursor not necessarily creates file on disk. VFP is cheating a bit. What I suspect is that as long as the contents of the cursor + some other stuff are less than sys(3050), it does not physically create the file, but rather caches it. Once you start filling the cursor, it creates the file at a certain point.
