>I'm developing my first VFP6 application. My previous experience has been with FPW 2.5. The customer wants to only update records when an update button is pushed. I am using a remote view to a FoxPro database that resides on the server. If I make the input fields control source the field from the remote view, everythings updates OK. But the customer only wants to update when an update button is pushed. I changed the control source of the fields to be memory variables, and in the code of the update button I issued a "replace remoteview.field with memory variable" type statement. Now I keep getting update conflict errors. What am I doing wrong????

You want to read about VFP data buffering. There are chapters in VFP books devoted to it. (I mean third-party "Programming in VFP" type books, as well as VFP manuals themselves). Also a lot of information in VFP help files. And back when VFP (3.0) first came out there were a lot of FoxTalk and FoxPro Advisor articles on data buffering, check those magazines' archives. Also look on msdn.microsoft.com/vfoxpro, under technical articles "new to visual foxpro" or something similar.

HTH,
