SUMMARY
The example in the Visual FoxPro Help under "Switching Between Local and Remote Data at Run Time" has an error. Step 7 states the following incorrectly:

In the Init event code for the data environment, call the data environment's OpenTables method:

THIS.OpenTables



MORE INFORMATION
For the example to work correctly, step 7 should be changed to the following:

In the Load event code for the form, call the data environment's OpenTables method:

THISFORM.Dataenvironment.OpenTables

You must also change step 8, which states the following incorrectly:

In the Init event code for the cursor, set the CursorSource property to the appropriate view, based on the setting of the user-defined form property.

For example, the following code checks the form property and accordingly sets the CursorSource to a remote or local view:

IF THISFORM.UseRemote = .T.        THIS.CursorSource = RemoteView ELSE THIS.CursorSource = LocalView ENDIF

Change step 8 to the following:

In the OpenTables method code for the data environment, set the CursorSource property of the cursor to the appropriate view, based on the setting of the user-defined form property.

For example, the following code checks the form property and accordingly sets the CursorSource to a remote or local view:

IF THISFORM.UseRemote = .T.        THIS.Cursor1.CursorSource = RemoteView ELSE THIS.Cursor1.CursorSource = LocalView ENDIF

NOTE: The topic "Switching Between Local and Remote Data at Run Time" does not appear in the Visual FoxPro 5.0 Help.
