Hello,
>You can check with 'Disp Stat'. If you have a new cursor, it will have a name like 'c:\temp\03458761.tmp'. If it's actually a copy of your table, it will \have the same name as the table, with a different alias.
>Another way is to use ? dbf('mycursorname'). Again you'll get the original table name if it's a copy.
A big surprise: now that code works for me again (suddenly, I dunno why! ;)
