Hi, Peter
As others have told you the solution is:
SELECT * FROM MyTable INTO CURSOR Query
USE DBF("Query") IN 0 AGAIN ALIAS Writable

I would suggest that you use the NOFILTER clause of SELECT-SQL to ensure that VFP is giving you a cursor, or you could inadvertently change your source table. The resultant cursor (Writable) is also bufferable, e.g. CURSORSETPROP("Buffering", 5, "Writable") will set optimistic table buffering.
