Your query may have just set a filter on the table Tickets instead of
truly creating a cursor.
Try:
SELECT * FROM Tickets WHERE TicketNo=123 INTO CURSOR tTickets NOFILTER
The above should truly give you a cursor with just one record in it.
You can do a test by issuing a MESSAGEBOX(DBF("tTickets")) with each
methodology to be sure.
