Lots of things are much easier if you have data for the entire year, or better for several years, in a single table. However, if your tables are very large, this may be impractical, especially if you use VFP native tables.
You can combine data vertically, from similar tables, with a SELECT - UNION. Assuming the tables have identical structures:
select * from JAN;
UNION select * from FEB;
into cursor Temp
In general, the two (or more) parts of the UNION must be identical with respect to fields: same fields in the same order, same sizes.
