I have recompiled my application in Visual Foxpro 7.0. from 6.0. Can I no longer alter a cursor in the following manner? If not, then what should I do instead to generate a temp. copy of a table with alterations?

SELECT neworditems
ordnumfields = afields(orditemfieldarray)
CREATE CURSOR orditemview FROM ARRAY orditemfieldarray
ALTER TABLE orditemview ADD COLUMN frominv N(12,1)
ALTER TABLE orditemview ADD COLUMN frompo N(12,1)



I get the error msg:
Invalid operation for the cursor.
alter table orditemview add column fromin n(12,1)
error Number :1115

Thanks.
