Last night was my monthly Fox User Group (www.slcfox.org) meeting. I showed off the new CursorAdapter in VFP8. People could not believe how easy it is to drop an CA on a form, run the builder, and have it just work. If you haven't seen the CursorAdapter, you should. It will totally change the way you write VFP applications. The CA is a new class in VFP8 that lets you connect to Native, OLE DB, ODBC, or XML data. This data is then automagically converted to an updateable VFP cursor. You can modify, add, or delete data and the CA handles getting the changes back to the source database. When dropped on a form, you can bind the controls to this cursor. VERYCOOL.
