Yups, that's rigth too, the issue comes with more than 10, not 8.
As Jim said, I was stuck.
Thank's to both (you and Jim) :-)
>I want to point out that your code works in both cases because field name lenght is limited to 10 characters not 8. It'll generate an error in VFP7 and later if any cursor field name is longer than 10 characters because the field name could be truncated as result of the ALTER TABLE command.
