>I ran across an issue today creating a cursor adapter. I wanted to map a datetime in SQL to a date in VFP, so I checked the box in the builder to "Use CursorSchema when filling cursor" and clicked the "Build" button to get the default schema. I changed my T column type to a D and then moved on to the Auto-Update tab of the Builder where I got the following error dialog

I don't have problems using Varchar(max) with cursoradapter but I don't use the builder + I set MapBinary and MapVarChar to .t.
