Hi Albert.

>I need a "primer" on why and how to use the cursor adaptor class. The help file does not really have a lot of examples. I have heard of others who have used them instead of the VFP views that are defined with the view designer. I have not really had a problem with views as my main customers are only using the VFP native database.

I have several white papers on CursorAdapter you may want to review. Search http://doughennig.com/papers/default.html for "cursoradapter".
