John - yes I am returning the timestamp field - it comes across as a memo field in my cursor, which I thought might be an issue, but it soes the same in the View that worked, so that is probably not it.

I will be doing some more tests myself - been hung up with a family issues most of today.

>>I am - I created a View in the View Designer and it works while my cursor doesn't! I'm currently trying to compare properties between the view and my SPT Cursor, but don't see anything so far. Could it have something to do with the fact that my cursor is from SQL Stored Proc - ie the actual select statement is not passed from VFP? I'm starting to look at the NOCPTRANS to see if that has something to do with it.

I have all working well - inserts, deletes, updates, identity columns etc. Now I want to use a wheretype of 4 on the cursor (key fields and timestamp) so I add a timestamp field to the SQL table, make sure it comes across in my cursor, add it to my updatefieldnames, set the wheretype to 4 and give it a go.

So my question is this: Is there some other trick or setting, etc. that I need to employ to get this to work? I not that the timestamp field comes across in a memo field in my cursor. Is this correct?
