"cannot update cursor" error using "replace"

I have the lastest vfp7 sp1 download installed.

Before sp1 update I had "cannot update cursor" error when
indexing a view! Sp1 fixed that error.

Now I am getting same error when I attempt a "replace" in
a table, not a view but a table. Code runs OK when using
vfp v7 but when I copy code to CD, all the code and all
the microsoft shared modules, I get the error.

Appearently other people have had problems with replace. I
amended code as some recommended but nothing helps.

Thanks, Ron

What do you mean by "copy code to CD"?
Have you copied the tables to a CD, then copied the CD
contents to an end-users's hard drive? If so, the tables
will probably be marked as "read only".
If you are transferring tables (or anything for that matter) from
your development PC to an end-user via CD-ROM, at the
very least you should Zip them, then copy the zip to the CD.
Better still, use InstallShield.
OTOH, maybe I've misunderstood.

Hi Ron:

Here are some items to look at:

1. Is the table marked as read only?
2. Are you opening the table with the NOUPDATE clause of the USE command?
3. Can you use the REPLACE command on the table from the Command window in
VFP?
4. Are your VFP temp files pointed to a valid folder? (Check this with the
SYS(2023) function).
5. Is the table part of a DBC? If so, issue a VALIDATE DATABASE RECOVER
command on the DBC file.

I hope this helps.
