Hi James

Unfortunatly I am totally new to adaptor cursors. I have also tried it and although the tableupdate returns .T. for both the view and the cursoradaptor, the data is not updated.

Any idea what I can be doing wrong or not doing right?

Thanks

>Yes, You have to tableupdate(1) to update all the rows.

>>>I have used remote views very good success as remote views go. Sounds like you have buffering set to 3 meaning that you have to either save or revert the change before going to the next row. Set buffering to 5 will fix this problem.
