Can you post the code where this error is happening? The lines before and after the offending line might be helpful. Also, make sure the buffering is what you think it is. Put CURSORGETPROP('Buffering') in the watch window. Is the cursor set to ReadOnly in the Property Sheet?

>I'm getting an Error #2072 "Cursor cannot be modified because it contains an unsaved record" attempting to APPEND BLANK into an EMPTY cursor. The cursor is a remote view against SQL Server. Buffering-5. According to previous threads on this error, this was supposed to be result of the cursor being the datasource for a grid and some grid-buffering type issues. This cursor is empty and not the controlsource or datasource for any UI controls at all.
