Hi Rick

What do you mean "Cannot find the DE". It's there, just not in Intellisense. If you open a "Locals Window " and drill down you will see it in all its glory :) with all its properties.

I too was stumped - for a while.

Just remember that with the new DE you will need to set this property manually, after all it is a property. Then you can use the statement as shown in your message.

Go ahead. Be brave and do it.

I too am in the process of "CursorAdapting" my app. For non updatable tables used for lookups, I use a custom generic class and just change the properties to do what I want. For Editing tables, especially WIDE ones, I use Mark's class builder.

Cheers.

Bernard
