>In DataSession 1, I created a VFP Cursor from a Cursoradapter which gets its data from a MySQL table. I have set all there is to set to make it updatable. Its Buffermodeoverride is 5 - optimistic table buffering. I then made modifications to this cursor - edits, deletions and appends.

>What I want to happen is an "all or nothing" scenario - if any record update fails, then none gets updated - in the VFP side.

I see the problem, but I'm not sure of the answer since I only played with CA and local data. Can you use transactions in your scenario?
