Hi, Edmond!

The best way to see format of properties you require to set to make SQL Pass-Through cursor updatable is following:

- create remote view and make
- open it
- use CursorGetProp to see all properties

You will see how VFP handles such situations for remote views. Than you can use these values for your cursor.

HTH.
