In UpdateNameList remove owner identifier and add keyfield. ie:
cPK="id"
cFldList="Paginated"
cUpdtList="id routes.id,Paginated routes.Paginated"

lnHandle=Sqlstringconnect('DRIVER=SQL Server;SERVER=servername;'+;
   'DATABASE=pubs;Trusted_Connection=Yes')
SQLExec(lnHandle,'select * from dbo.authors','v_authors')
CursorSetProp('KeyFieldList','au_id','v_authors')
CursorSetProp('WhereType',1,'v_authors')
CursorSetProp('Tables','authors','v_authors')

CursorSetProp("UpdateNameList", ;
  "au_id    authors.au_id,"+;
  "au_lname authors.au_lname,"+;
  "au_fname authors.au_fname,"+;
  "contract authors.contract",'V_authors')

CursorSetProp('UpdatableFieldList','au_fname,au_lname,contract','v_authors')
CursorSetProp('SendUpdates',.T.,'v_authors')
CursorSetProp('Buffering',5,'v_authors')

Browse title "before Update - edit"
Tableupdate(2,.T.,'v_authors')
SQLExec(lnHandle,'select * from dbo.authors','afterupdate')
SQLDisconnect(lnHandle)
Select afterupdate
Browse title "After update"
