But in my example, you don't change the code at all, regardless of the backend, because I was calculating off the locally created cursor. Hence, it works no matter if I switch backends or not. Remember you only tie to VFP objects and cursors. The backend handles updating the REAL data store. If he were querying on SAVED/STORED data, then I'd agree to move that to the DataObj, but the example was on BUFFERED data in the UI, not yet committed. -- Mike Babcock, MCP MB Software Solutions, LLC President, Chief Software Architect http://mbsoftwaresolutions.com http://fabmate.com http://twitter.com/mbabcock16 _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/4f29e04e.8050...@mbsoftwaresolutions.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
