>>>FetchMemo = .F.
>>>KeyfieldList = 'idParts' (I've tried with and without this - since no updates then it should not be needed)
>>>Name = cursoradapter1
>>>SelectCmd = 'select cpartno,cpartdescription,idparts from base.parts order by cpartno'
>>>SendUpdates = .f.

>>>AutoOpen and Init methods are standard VFP cursoradapter code from the builder.
