Hmmm....so if one were to have a VFP system whereby it created the 
UPDATE SQL for multiple updates along with possibly INSERTS for new 
records, one could daisy change them together in one fell swoop using a 
single SQLEXEC statement, if I read this right.  Does that mean better 
performance since you're making fewer trips to the server or is this 
perhaps 6 of one, 1/2 dozen of another?  Curious...(yeah I know...design 
some test code and try it....)
