I am happy you are figuring this out. I am however sad that you were shown so many non-cursor based ways to do this and yet you chose to use a cursor.
That is sort of like getting to the race track without a car, you were scared to drive a Ferrari because you have never driven one, then you were taught how to drive it and you said "no thanks, I think I will stick with this Volkswagen Bug, it is slower than molasses on the tundra but it is comfortable".
