This message has been marked as the solution to the initial question of the thread.
Make sure your primary key is defined correctly in the view. The field or fields you specify in the PK must uniquely identify a record.

>User will typically change a particular field with different values for different rows.
>As I do a TABLEUPDATE, instead of saving those changes to the table, all the rows will get the same value for that field (it will save the last value changed for that field).
>Example:
>Field hrnotes row 1 changed to ‘A’
>Field hrnotes row 2 changed to ‘B’
>Field hrnotes row 3 changed to ‘C’
>Field hrnotes row 4 changed to ‘D’
>When I do table update:
>xSuccess=TABLEUPDATE(1,.T.,'cMyTable')
>row 1 changed to ‘D’
>row 2 changed to ‘D’
>row 3 changed to ‘D’
>row 4 changed to ‘D’

Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
