I'm sorry, I can only answer this question for now CursorAdapter Builder for VFP9 File #26265

The rest of your questions I may need to answer another time.


>b) Got frustrated with this arrangement so I have canned the DE class option and reverted to using the Dataenvironment feature included within the FORM designer.

Now I do see this cursor appear in the Datasession window and the second page grid correctly gets populated with data from this cursoradapter source, HOWEVER .... always something .... the pictbtns on this second page have adopted the cursoradapter from the first page in navigation results - i.e. they do not affect the grid on this second page but move the pointer in the frist page grid - When you click on any button in the second page button set, you can actually see the ALIAS selected trips back to the first cursoradapter source. This is inspite of the fact that in the second page's Activate method I have set up to specifically SELECT the appropriate cursoradapter and the navigation buttons also have a specific SELECT to reference the correct cursoradapter.
