Hi Doug,
My problem was that I was using your examples in Foxtalk where the CursorAdapter was local and I was losing the cursor after the object was out of scope.

I have been reading and rereading your 3 articles in Foxtalk. I still can't get the concept of Reusable Data Classes (your last article). Hopefully on the n-th time of reading I will get it. By the way, I downloaded the source but can't seem to find where is the source for creating the Example: Form (shown in Figure 1.). Or it was not supposed to be part of the download?

Since I have your attention and maybe Glen reads it too. I have another newbie question.

Say I want to open 5 tables to be used in a form. Do I have to create 5 CA's in the DataEnvironment of the form, one for each table?
