Peter,

Might be a stupid question, but do the data *files* in the "New" folder have read/write priviledges on them for the ISUR account on the website? We had a "cannot update cursor" issue once where we built the site using native VFP tables, and the ISP had only set read/write permissions on the data folder, not the individual files themselves.

Setting the permission on the folder did not actually ripple thgrough to the files. They had to select all of the data files individually and set the permissions. Everything worked fine from there on out.
