One of the main tasks our applications have is to import testing results from 
data files in a variety of formats. 



In VFP, the basic operation is:



1. read data file and append or insert data into a VFP cursor.

2. validate/massage/interpret data contained in cursor.

3. scan cursor and insert validated data into VFP tables .



Thinking about how to do this in dabo, I have a number of questions:



1) What's the equivalent of:



INSERT INTO table1 (field1, field2) VALUES (val1,val2)



I see the bizobj 'new' method, which inserts a record with default values. Is 
there a way to call the 'new' method with specified values?





2) Can I create an empty cursor that I can then populate with data read from a 
file? Can the dabo dataset be used this way?





Thanks,



Jonathan Poor
