>I agree - I'm just not sure what that "detective work" is and how to
properly "flag" my timestamp field in my cursor so that it will pick it up.

I seem to remember that option 4 for Where clause is not available unless the view contains a TimeStamp column. When you open a view, not only does VFP receive the data, it also recieves some metadata describing the columns of the recordset. You can see this if you enable ODBC tracing and open a query.

At this point, I don't know if there's a way to get the timestamp column from VFP.
