Although I am successfully using Remote Views on separate tables, I find TABLEUPDATE() a bit cranky and, at times leaves me scratching my head - try these two instances:

(1): TABLEUPDATE(.T.) fails, and AERROR[1,2] returns the cryptic message "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'UPDATE'" - while AERROR[2,2] tells me "Incorrect syntax near 'LIKE'" - these from an OBDC connectivity error 1526. Only 1 non-primary field was modified. All the usual DBSETPROP() settings are set correctly as far as I can tell. Since TABLEUPDATE() operates behind the scenes, is it telling me to give up Remote Views and use SPT functions instead?

(2): Same View, different day: Memo fields are modified, and TABLEUPDATE(.T.) returns .T. for a small result set with table buffering on. Great, the UPDATE was successful - right? Wrong, the View is refreshed and none of the Memo field changes were sent. I've checked (and unchecked) the Fetch Memo. Veried and re-checked all settings, Updatable fields, etc. Why does TABLEUPDATE() tell me the Update is successful, when obviously that's not true?
