Curt,

Make.List(cursor, keylist, f_datavar, f_dictvar)

cursor-Specify the cursor number. Valid cursors numbers are 0 through 8.

keylist-An @fm-delimited list of keys.

f_datavar-The file handle for the data file as set by the open statement.

f_dictvar-The file handle for the dictionary file as set by the open statement.

We just usually call it like so:

Make.List(0, Keylist, "", "")

So the result is an active cursor.

Well, on the plus side, it's good for taking a listing of keys and turning them into an active list. You could then do a savelist and keep them around for a while.

On the down side, if your planning on using the routine right away, it would probably be faster to loop right through the list than using READNEXT, but it depends on what you're actually doing.

Just my 2¢
