First, download http://www.mctweedle.com/downloads/CursorAdapter.zip from my web site. In it are complete PRGs that demo the different ways of using the CA. One is for the Northwind database in VFP and SQL Server. If you still have a problem, please let me know.

>I am developing an application in which the user can access remote data or local data. The remote data is a SQL Server database accessed using a CursorAdapter/ADO object while the local is a VFP database CursorAdapter/Native object. I'm trying to use an alias to the data so that the processing code is common (oData.alias = "aliasname"). This works great for the remote data but fails for the local. If I debug, the local alias remains set to "A" instead of the name I set it to.
