>I see you use VFP9 why you not switch to CursorAdapters?

Maintly, because it's taken me five years to get "half way decent' understanding and creating views!

The one time that I looked at CursorAdapters (VFP8), it seemed that they were more complex and would take a lot longer to setup. Likewise, the CursorAdapter builder didn't seem to be nearly as robust as the ViewDesigner. And, as I mentioned in a previous note, the View Designer in VFP9 was a great improvement over previous versions.

Also, I can't remember exactly ... but the first time I tried using one it seems that I ran into a limit of some sort ... I think it was in how you write out each of the field names in the schema. I think it was limited to 'X' number of characters but this was back in VFP8 so that may have changed.

What are the main benefits that CursorAdapters have over views?

Thanks,
Robert
