>>can't update cursor.
Nope. You can't. Although a cursor is a "table" it is usually the result of a a query, so an update wouldn't make sense, as the updates wouldn't ever be transferred back to the underlying table(s). Also, in VFP, cursors are usually just the current work area, and they can disappear on you if you're not careful....like you switch to another work area.
The closest thing to updatable cursors are views and they are pretty neat.
