Yes, I've tried setting SqlSetProp (nSQLHandle, "Asynchronous", .T.) and implement a cursor "fill" loop before, but couldn't make it work properly. What I'm needing is the exact statement sequence to do it. In all books I have and in the MF VFP 6.0 manuals I couldn't find an answer to my problem.

Thanks,
