If you meant John's article, the link is here message #1397393, but this is for .NET Mobile App, not for VFP.

>>>I am trying to insert records into a .net local data table (SQL Compact Edition .sdf File)
>>>
>>>I am using a cursor adapter since these is no ODBC driver for this.
>>>
>>>I can open the table just fine but I cannot get an insert to work. Is it possible to insert into an ADO table?
>>>
>>>This is what is being returned by aerror after the tableupdate()
