Once you pull a View locally in FoxPro you can use CursorSetProp() to set the tables and fields you wan tto update. Then do your changes in FoxPro and issue a tableupdate(). SQL Passthrough can be parameterized like any predefined view.

I don't see this as a problem. When you are done with a connection, close it.
