A couple of errors:

 function load_my_query_into_a_new_databasefile
 private m
 m=form.custno             -> this probably should be form.custno.value
 m='"'+m+'"'               -> get the sting right for SQL to work
 oFoo=new Query()
 oFoo.sql= 'select * from "customer" where custno = &m'
 oFoo.active=true
 u=new updateset()
 u.source=oFoo.rowset
 u.destination=temp.dbf    ->put the dbf in quotes "Temp.dbf"
 u.copy()


Try it you'll like it!
