Thanks - I got it to work, but I had to reference the table in question by using _RCD_. I checked the dataenvironment and found the following code:

ADD OBJECT orcd AS ctablecursor WITH ;
alias = "rcd", ;
cdatabasename = "cdms", ;
cursorsource = "[rcd]", ;
database = "\develop\edwin\data\commondata\cdms.dbc", ;
Name = "orcd", ;
nodataonload = (.f.), ;
Tabindex = 2.00

Why do I need to use _ before and after the table name?

Also, I will want to read the location of the database from a registry entry. I know how to get the path from the registry, but how do I store it in the dataenvironment? This path could be different for every computer running my application.
