Hi Mike,

Can you provide a code that repro it so I can test it in VFP9? The following code identifies BOF() just fine. Can you modify it to show the bug you're refereing to?

CREATE CURSOR test (f01 N(3))

FOR i=1 to 3
	INSERT INTO test VALUES (i)	
ENDFOR

GO BOTTOM 
DO WHILE NOT BOF()
	? f01
	SKIP -1
ENDDO
