The cursor object makes it possible for you to specify or determine properties for the table or view when the form, FormSet or report is run.

Note that setting a cursor object property at run time generates an error (with the exception of the Filter and Order properties, which can be set at run time). For a new property setting to take effect, you must call the CloseTables and OpenTables methods for the data environment. Also, if you change the Order property at run time of a cursor that is involved in a one-to-many relationship, the one-to-many relationship is broken.
