I do use updateable cursor at times, but haven't had any good experience with views though... Anyway, thanks for your advise, I'll try updateable cursor to see if it solve the problem.

Just to side track a little, why is VFP's GUI so buggy, or is it just Microsoft, or is it just me ??? *Sigh*, I like foxpro for its database engine but hates the buggy UI. Do you foresee any major improvements in the next version?
