Michael Babcock said "I was getting an empty recordset/row from the remote table, inserting my fields, and using Paul McNett's MakeUpdatable.prg"
I used the code from makeupdatable for a long time but have now pretty much switched to cursoradapters. I'm interested in the "getting an empty recordset/row from the remote table" comment though because I've recently had some problems with adding records to ca cursors - append blank works on the cursor side but this causes problems where the backend logic expects null values. btw for anyone who followed my earlier thread about using 'scatter name this' in a data object I can report that it is working fine - in cases where you have control over the backend db naming (to avoid possible conflicts) I recommend the approach as an easy way to set up single record data objects (the data can be from several tables, but only one 'row' at a time).
