I Don't understand the stuff about the hierarchical recordsets.

We use ADO because our program has to work over the internet and has to work
with different databases.


>Not if you use hierarchical recordsets.. Also, ODBC is geared toward relational data. OLE-DB can work with anything. Also, there are a host of things you can do with ADO recordset that you can't do with a VFP Cursor. It's really not that much extra work.

>>>You will find the same behavior with SQL, FWIW. Basically, you are creating a new cursor, which is based on two tables. As such, when you attempt an update, ADO, and more specfically, the OLE-DB Provider for ODBC, does not know what is to be updated. Esstentially, it gets confused.

>>>You have two choices. One alternative is to use a hierachical recordset in which you have nested tables. The other alternative is to use multiple recordsets. If you navigate to a specific record in the one recordset, you can then set the filter property or use the find method to locate related records for display. If there could be more than one match, I would suggest using the Filter Property.
