Wait a second!  I was trying to do it  your way - using bizobj's.  You have 
told me many times to use bizobjs.  Don't bypass the bizobj's.  Keep bizobj 
code out of the UI.  I could have easily used a tempcursor and handled all of 
my requirements.  But again I was trying to do your way.  Your response was 
to filter the data after I retrieved the data.  Well, that did not work out 
very well due to all the joins and virtual fields associated with the bizobj 
in question.  And I did not see much difference between what I had to do with 
the filtering and just creating a tempcursor.  

I think this is a limitation of the Dabo framework.  I'm not the only one who 
has had need to use a table twice.  Apparently, Paul has had a need too.   
And if you ever had a need to use a table twice in VFP  and used "use again" 
then you to have seen a need.  Maybe not in your VFP framework but in general 
VFP use.

Actually, I don't understand why you think it is never necessary to use a 
table twice.  Otherwise you would have added the ability to bizobjs.
