Thank you in advance for your attention and help:

I'm writing a GIS aplication to retrieve and display shapefiles (ESRI), and information (Dbase) associated to the shapes contained in those *.shp files. I'm using Visual Basic 6.0 for 32 bit Windows Development and MapObjects 2.0.
Every thing had gone perfect with the program, the shapes display fine, info retrieval goes ok, ... until I tried to modify data contained in fields (cells)!!, in that step I receive the following message "Microsoft [ODBC dBase driver] Operation must use an updatable query". I'm experienced using GIS, but I haven't had programmed for 8 years until now, so consider I'm not experienced with VB programing environment, when you answer my question, please!!.

Thank you again for your help!
