That is a good question. I generally use free tables and what little use I make of a DBC is through the framework I purchased. The origin for this is that my application started as a FoxPro DOS app, and I guess I just got used to it.

I have used remote views to access data in a Pervasive database.

>>A grid shows fields that are stored in two related tables. At the moment I am creating a cursor with the combined fields and use that as recordsource of grid. If user changes the relating field in the grid, I need to show updated values in grid. One way is to recreate the combined cursor, but is there a way to make a grid show fields from two related tables without creating a combined cursor so that values in grid are automatically refreshed in the case described?
