Steve, I'm far from an expert, but I think this depends on wether your using disconnected record sets or not. In fact, I don't know if you can do it any other way in a client server environment. The only reason I think you might be able to is because mySql supports ADO.
Other wise, I think the record set is manipulated on the client and updated to the server. My only experience is to load the record set to an array and do updates or inserts as needed. Working through the array would replace cursors. Ben Petersen On 9 Sep 2004 at 15:27, J.
