The program runs without a problem when run from an XP-system PC, but when run from a PC using 2000 (and only in that situation), it defines the table as a read-only cursor and crashes when it attempts to update.

No other ideas. I believe the problem was discussed here before, but it would be hard to find relevant messages.
