>>When a cursor is created, I assume the file representing the cursor sits somewhere (in the TEMP dir perhaps?). I'm running into some older class code that's assuming I'm dealing with a real table and issues a CURSORGETPROP("SourceName") to get the underlying table info. Problem is, when I look in the path that the function returns, I cannot find the file being referenced.

Sergey,

Also, doesn't VFP create the file with a different name than the one we give it, ie., the name we give a cursor is effectively just an alias?
