This is a standard local view definition (actually, I've got it from View Designer window)

SELECT Accesslog.id, Accesslog.userid, Accesslog.computerid,;
  Accesslog.logindatetime, Accesslog.logoutdatetime;
 FROM appdata!AccessLog;
 WHERE  Accesslog.userid = ?vpUserId

So it definately supports ? in Selects.

My guess would be VFPT has added ? to SELECTS because they need them in views. Given the fact View Designer cannot be used to construct an INSERT or an UPDATE view, they didn't need ? for those, hence ? is not supported anywere beside SELECTss. However, I think ? should be supported.

Maybe a new entry in WishList for Sedna? :)
