Darren,

I doesn't suggest to use CursorAdapter, it is a example only.

You have a wrong code, then if it work on vfp6 then vfp6 is wrong here.

Fix your code with a single "UpdatableFieldList" setting and it should work.

If I then try to add another record like sls_no=100 and sls_nm="Test Salesman Again" I will get an error that I violated the primary key of the table, because VFP is trying to committ sls_no again as zero. If I just enter a new sls_no field I get the error "Cannot insert an empty row from a view or CursorAdapter into base table(s)", although the sls_nm field can accept null values in mySQL.
