Hi Mike,

Got a bit of spare time this week so I started looking at the cursor adapter class and trying it out (based on Doug Hennigs papers). Got the basic stuff working.

I next went to look at the class you pointed me to below and - it's HUGE. Lots of pems, zreadme() is very long.

Is this the class I would attach to a form to do data handling in a 2-tier app - either VFP tables initially and then later SQL tables?

If so, not sure how to get started as the class is so large - would you be able to point me to an example form within VMP2005 where the form shows how to use the class? From the zreadme() it more or less says that there is a ton of stuff there most of which is not used by everyone.

Or if there is no example, could you give me a few lines of code that would be called upon a test form startup showing which objects have to be instantiated in the form and what has to fire to retrieve the data - only if it is quick for you to do so.

Thanks,
Albert

>>>Yep. The n-tier stuff would work for both local and remote data. I only have vmp2005 these days.
