>The source of the cursor is a local view.

Ok, same thing in my book :-)

>I am learning COM server, too. Still trying to figure out how to get a cursor across the wire, get the client apps edit on it, and then send it back to the server for bizrules verification before saving. If someone can tell me my approach is wrong, I will be glad to try on other more conventional method(s). Anyway, I would try on West Wind's XML class to transfer the cursor in XML format.

Sounds fun, I haven't used XML yet, but I plan to redo that forum you went too tonight in all XML.

You might want to start a seperate thread asking about this, its more intersting than the DBF() function < s >
