I'm pretty sure about this. It's in the VB 5 help (I'll search it again in
the help and I'll quote it out in my next message). At least if you wan't
to use datacontrols and recordset to do updates. Of course you can always
perform the same updates using passthrough queries, and this, of course,
works.
    You can do some test for example using VisData. It uses datacontrols to
perform operations and it needs unique indexes on the tables to allow updates.
Well, if I'm wrong, please explain me how to do it. I'm really interested.

Hope it helps.

Bye !
