Hey, Simon,

As to your second question, the answer is yes, the changes should be reflected.

If I create two different dataviews on the same table and then add a row to the main table, modify a row, etc - the changes show up in both views. (Of course, if the two views have two different filters, this may not apply).

As for your first question, perhaps if you could provide some details on your specific requirements (as opposed to how you implemented them in Fox), it might help to determine if/how you need them.

Again, there's no such thing as a "record pointer" in ADO.NET. That means that I can bind a dataview to a datagrid, the user can be sitting on row #3 in the grid...and I can run a process that loops the entire dataview (maybe to calculate a grand total or something)...all without "disturbing" the grid and the highlighted row.

So if that is your case, then perhaps they're not necessary. But if you have something different...maybe one view with one filter, and want to perform a quick check on a different criteria, then maybe they'd provide benefit. Anyway, let me know what you're trying to do.

Thanks,
Kevin
