>>>I can't get DbGetProp(cName,'View','Tables') to work, it always returns just empty spaces. I thought it would give me a list of tables that were used to create the view.

The tables prop is really an 'updatetables' property. It is meant to be a space delimited list of tables that have update fields specified. If your view is not updateable, this property will return nothing.
