I'm not having a problem selecting the deleted records. I can select a deleted record into a view. The record in the view shows as being not deleted. If I recall it, 0 records are recalled because according to the view, it's not deleted. When I issue the tableupdate(), the changes I made get written back to the table, but the record is still marked for deletion in the table. I've even tried deleting the record in the view thinking maybe it would toggle the deleted mark of the record in the back-end table, but deleting it in the view just re-deletes it in the table. So, any other ideas?

P.S. I don't think the status of SET DELETED affects SQL-SELECT statements. (but I may be wrong)
