You didn't explain what your method .RS2CURSOR() does. Let's say it creates a table with a certain name. It is possible that the property .lChave contains invalid characters, for example, hyphens. For your function to work, if I understand its purpose correctly, .lChave must contain a valid alias. If it doesn't, VFP will assign a different alias. For example, if your table is called "abc-def", the alias will be "abc_def". Note that the hyphen was converted to an underscore. Also, if the alias is already in use, perhaps a different alias is created.

What you must really do, is to debug. Right before the last statement, the SELECT in your sample, put the command SET STEP ON, and then check (with the SET command) what aliases are in use.

If you don't know what an alias is: Every table is opened with an alias, which is a temporary name for the table. The alias is very often, but not always, the same as the table name.

You could also change your method .rs2cursor(), so that it assigns a specific alias to whatever table you open or create.
