>>The DBC selected in step 1 must have at least one connection defined to the desired remote server.<<

Yes, you were right again. I forgot to define a connection while the DBC was open.

>>Generally but not necessarily so. Look in Data Classes, Binding Manager Class, Using SQL Passthrough Cursors. The cursor class' cSource property defines the cursor's source, usually a table or view name. In the cType property of the cursor class, if you specify "SQLPT", then cSource could SELECT (or EXEC) in which case, a non-updateable (and if required parameterised WHERE based) cursor can be created by SPT using a select statement, not requiring a remote view to be defined. If you specify EXEC, CM assume that an SP exists on the SQL server which can be used to create a server side (and if required parameterised WHERE based) cursor.<<

You are referring to the cmCursorCumston class - correct?

Thanks again.
