>Recently, I have created a thread about a situation I had where I needed to update the SQL result. Basically, the goal was to include some empty fields in the SQL command and scan thru the dataset after and update accordingly. With a VFP backend, I can do this. But, when I test that against a SQL Server backend, I get this message:

I believe the answer I gave you still remains the same. You can do it through updatable views. I started to read on views when I saw your first question, but I think this is the direction you should be heading.
