I'm using ODBC data sources only and have a created temporary VFP database
container for remote views.

It there any differences to create a updatable cursor on remote data using
between remote view and cursoradapter.

It seems that

CREATE SQL VIEW myVIEW REMOTE ...
USE myVIEW

and using cursoradapter cursorfill() method

both create updatable remote cursor
which has exactly the same features and limitations.

The only exception seems to be that remote view can be used in an application running on Windows 95 (using VFP 7). So I consider remote view to be more portable.
