Yes, your right, there is no way for Fox to update a CD!@#$%$%#@.

But how does one access properties of a table in code?

moov is cursor's alias
dataenvironment is dataenvironment name for form
moov is cursor1 in dataenvironemnt

I've tried:

1) dataenvironment.cursor1.readonly
dataenvironment.moov.readonly
2) path\moov.readonly
path\moov.dbf.readonly
3) cursorgetprop is no help

Thanks
