hiya,
For complicated reasons, I have to use RDO to perform updates in my .NET app :-(

My question, why does the RDO recordset become "readOnly" if the contents of the underlying datafile are bound to a datagrid via ODBC?

I ask because, if I:

1) use an odbcDatareader
2) populate a datatable from this dataReader
3) bind the datagrid to this table...

then the RDO recordset is once again "readWrite"

does anyone know why?BTW, I am the only person using the RDO locally, so I know that it can't be a record locking issue.Please note, I NEVER bind the RDO recordset to the datagrid..I only use the RDO recordset to send updates to the datafiles

many thanks,

Chris
