cannot update cursor?

[jarrett]

The form has buffering set to optimistic. When I try to append blank or
delete a record I get "Cannot update Cursor". Then the program crashes.

That error generally indicates a Read-Only file
Is this from a compiled EXE? Have you included a table in the EXE?
Check your project and make sure all tables (DBFs) are marked excluded.
Anything "inside" the EXE will be Read-Only by definition.

Check also that any external table files are not marked R/O in Windows.

Cursor that get from select command is not updatable.(except views)
Sure your cursor is writable (create cursor ... is writable)

Now (in VFP 7.0) you have SELECT SQL ... READWRITE
