Thanks to all who have replied to this thread so far. Looks like subclassed CAs are the way to go, but before I dive in, I have a few more questions...

How do I get a class-based CA representing a view into a form DE? I created a test CA and stored it in a .vcx class library, but I can't work-out how to get the CA into a form DE. I've tried dragging from the class-browser but that doesn't work. Right-clicking in the DE presents an 'Add cursoradapter' menu option, but this only appears to create a CA from scratch. Once in the form.DE, is the CA automatically opened like any other table or view?

How can I open a CA view in code in the same way as USE MyView NODATA? Are there any examples of class wrapper programs around that simplify things so we can use familiar (ie, old-fashioned) syntax?

If MyCA.SelectCmd='SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE myField=?lnMyParameter', can I still refresh a view using...
lnMyParameter = nMyValue
SELECT MyView
REQUERY()
If not, what would be the equivalent process using a CA? I've looked at the VFP help file, and can see that the CursorRefresh() method is involved, but can't quite work-out how.

I can see that I can create a CA using the builder called from a form DE, but where is the code that creates this CA stored? If created via. a form DE, can the CA only be used for that form?

Any further help would be appreciated.
