Hi Jim,

It still not clear what VFP command generates "Alias curTemp is not Found".
It would help to debug runtime errors if you have an error handler in place. Take a look at an article 'Error handling in VFP' by Doug Hennig at http://stonefield.com/techpap.html and error handler project at http://www.ideaxchg.com/ix07/er/_sys/toccontu.htm
