Older versions didn't support READWRITE clause and you needed to add 2 more lines to support RW.

>Thank You Cetin, I'll try to follow your indication, after all it's what i usually do when I use the selct command, I was thinking about the reason why I did not use that command in my CreateCursor Procedure... maybe the previous version of VFP didn'tcreate empty cursor using the select command ?
