I usually clean up cursors I create in code, but I don't fret if I
miss one here and there. There's some cursors I create implicitly
through setting the recordsource on comboboxes-- "select cname, iid
from table into cursor cboComboName" that I don't close myself. I
think VFP leaves those open, at least sometimes, IIRC...
Often times my cursors have a specific logical scope-- the procedure,
or the form. In the form, I'll do USE IN SELECT("crsCursor") entries
for each cursor created in that form, and I'll do the same at the end
of a method I had to use a cursor for.
