Sergey,

SELECT TOP 5 dDate ;
FROM mytable ;
GROUP BY 1 ;
ORDER BY 1 DESC ;
INTO CURSOR crsDates

SELECT * ;
FROM mytable ;
WHERE dDate IN ( ;
SELECT dDate FROM crsDates)

In VFP9 it could be done in one query
SELECT * ;
FROM mytable ;
WHERE dDate IN ( ;
SELECT TOP 5 dDate ;
FROM mytable ;
GROUP BY 1 ;
ORDER BY 1 DESC )

from here
and how to separate the last query into 5 different groups of dates into 5 different cursors ? means each group of dates per cursor

TIA
