IMHO, this is the most powerful and flexible data object ever introduced in a developer product. I don't care what Ken Levy says about the best new feature in VFP, this is it! < bg > Like George said, we have been discussing the implications of this class privately, and I find it difficult to describe how excited I am about this feature. It has not been the easiest class to use so far, but that is because the documentation is not yet complete. I have had help from many others in getting complete code samples developed, most of which I have posted here. Doug Hennig has obviously done a massive amount of work on these as well. You can be sure that when 8 is released, the documentation will be there as well as code samples.

I just posted elsewhere in this same thread, a code sample for ADO on native VFP tables.

>>I have a zip file on my website with complete sample code for the CursorAdapter class for ADO and for ODBC. Both PRGs are for an Oracle table. I have also included 2 SQL script files [one for Oracle and one for SQL Server] that will create the table and insert the sample data. If you want to use SQL Server, all you have to do is modify the Connection Strings in the PRG files. Anyone may download this file from:
