I hope I am overlooking the obvious (VFP 7).

A form method processes records for a parameter passed cursor. Inside the method I need to temporarily create a .CDX on the cursor that may already have an existing or indexes. So far so good.

At the end of my method I would really like to just remove this one temporary .CDX but not disturb any of the cursor's index file or files that were originally there.

Question: Given that this is a cursor, is there a better way to selectively close a particular cursor's index file yet retain the original indexes than:

1) Save the value of SET( "PATH" ) and/or ATAGINFO()
2) Close indexes with SET INDEX TO
3) Recreate the original cursor indexes.

I'd appreciate any better ideas. Thank you!
