Hi Susan!

Several ways to do it:

1) CREATE CLASS myCA OF myclasslib AS CursorAdapter. In the Class Designer, right-click on the little CA icon and choose "Builder"

2) CREATE FORM myform. Right-click, select Data Environment. In the DataEnvironment, right-click and select Builder. In the DEBuilder, you can choose New for CursorAdapter and it invokes the Builder.

3) CREATE FORM myform. Right-click, select Data Environment. In the DataEnvironment, right-click and select Add CursorAdapter. Right-click on the cursor graphic representing the new CursorAdpater and choose builder.

>>>That's correct. However, have you looked at the CursorAdapter Builder? It can build these properties for you; you simply check which fields are updateable in a grid. In a version later than the public beta, it's even easier: all you have to do is check the "update all fields" checkbox.
