Hi Mark

I found the problem. My builder had incorrectly entered a field in the UpdateFieldList. Once I fixed the problem it worked just fine.

Thanks
Simon



>Just as a test, leave the UpdatableFieldlist, UpdateNameList, KeyFieldList properties blank, and only specify the DataSourceType. Then attach should return .t. Then Detach the cursor [table]. Populate one of the 3 properties and test again. If failed, then you know which property is incorrect. Test each property separately to help narrow down source of error. If anything is incorrect in those properties [if not empty], the attach will fail.
