Rex,

You really should have indexes on these fields. When a local view is used to update a table, it does a SQL UPDATE command to update the table. Something like:

UPDATE mytable ;
  SET MyField1=x, MyField2=y ;
  WHERE KeyField=updatedrecordskeyvalue

Without an index it has to scan the whole table looking for the right record for each update.

During this replace, for each record, the view requeries. It takes 120 seconds ro update one record and then it goes to the next record and takes another 2 minutes and on and on...
