Actually - I was just trying a different method - to simply ADD the field to the Cursor after the Cursor is generated. I was attempting to then run an Alter Table command - but, alas - it doesn't work on Cursors. So - was just now trying to change the code to use a Temp Table. But - I think I will switch to this option that you and Frank mentioned - since it seems much simpler and more elegant!
