It doesn't matter whether you use the cursoradapter or not. You can access VFP tables directly.

I need to dig into my old code to see which SYS settings it is that fixes this. It's either Sys(3051) or Sys(3052) or something else (I think it's something else).

The sys function I'm thinking about requires that VFP locks all three files (dbf, fpt, and cdx) before it makes changes.

I'll be back!
