Hi, William!

This is also an answer to your "CURSORSETPROP tables problem." thread.

I developed this for SQL Pass-Through (SPT) cursors. You can find tips of how to do this in my and FoxDev posts at the http://www.tek-tips.com, VFP forum.

However, this is easy to develop by your own.
Make a remote view. Open it and look to appropriate cursor properties. You will see an exact format of the information in these properties. Use this format to populate properties of your SPT cursor. There are 5 of such properties that you should set in SPT cursor. Read also articles about SPT in the VFP developers guide, these properties are described there for SPT.

HTH.


>Can someone help me with this passthrough problem. I am using SQL passthrough to get a cursor. I want to make the cusor updateable so that the updates get updated on SQL server. Below are the steps I use:

>1.) lnHandle = SQLCONN(DSN,'USERID','PASSWORD') &&Get my connection.
>2.) lnExe = SQLEXEC(lnHandle,'Select * from table','Mytable') &&Get the data.
>3.) lnProp1 = CURSORSETPROP('tables','mycursor') &&Name of remote table, I put the name of my cursor as the name of the remote table.
