Leonid,

My readonly views are set to 1) include only the user display fields (omit PK and parentkey fields) and 2) replace other FK values with lookups into the linked table.

>So, what is the point to have one view for viewing and one for updating? Think about it. My understanding is that views suppose to be more convensional way to gather data from different sources(tables) and allow program to manipulate data in such tables.
