Hi,John.

>I am well aware of how I might use ADO.NET or SP to simulate the effect, but having tried both for the particular task that occupies all of my time these days, VFP's cursor is hard to beat.

I agree on that. Cursors and the DML are great for local manipulation, and are one of the great strenghts of VFP for me.

My point about Terry's "request" is that I don't believe it possible to efficiently use xBase commands on distributed environments as the web.

See you,
