>Hi, Michelle
>I have the same question a while ago. It turns out (if I understood it clearly) that if you want to add records to your files, work directly with them, do not use views. I have tried to add records to 3 files using 1 view - doesn't work. So, I have switched to work directly with tables. But what about all this buzz about better buffering and "By-by gather/scatter"? Even working directly with tables your are able to issue tablerevert...

Just because you have a view tht allows you to view data from three tables, dosn't mean you have to use that view to update the tables. There is no reason not to create other views based solely on those tables to be used strictly for inserting records.
On the other hand, you shouldn't worry about it if you know that your app will always use native data, but I don't make that speculation anymore. I only use views, and no tables.
