And if I try to create a second cursor from that (using another SQL select, say), I can't connect it back to my SQL-server data base. I suppose I could possibly scan this second cursor for changes manually and create the SQL Updates in code, but that seems like it could be slow.

What about a remote view. That'll allow you to map the date/time to a date field.
